Community Development Partners, LLC. (CDP) is a well rounded team of management professionals who work with you to plan, secure funds, and oversee projects that are vital to your community. CDP was established in 1994 and represents over 100 years combined experience in the project development and implementation for local governments and non-profit agencies. CDP will work with you to prioritize your local needs and help establish a means to achieve your goals.

In these days of limited financial resources and government cutbacks, it is increasingly difficult for a community to deliver the required services to meet public demand. Through our knowledge and experience, we help you plan and meet the needs of your growing community. As the name implies, Community Development Partners realizes the importance of building lasting partnerships with our clients.

CDP utilizes a "TEAM APPROACH" for managing each project. A project manager is assigned to each project, but the entire "CDP Team" reviews and discusses the progress of your project. These critical reviews build a stronger project whereby we prevent or reduce the problems that may occur. Capital improvement projects require planning, financing, and knowledge of governmental programs for successful implementation.

PLANNING: Advance planning for capital improvements projects can save you time and money while at the same time making your community a better place to live. Before a project begins, there are many questions that need to be answered. Who will benefit from this project and what impact will it have on the community? When is the best time to undertake this project? CDP develops a "Plan of Action" so that the elected officials and local citizens know the answers before the project is underway.

FUNDING: We know that communities have limited financial resources. For that reason, Community Development Partners stays abreast of various grant and loan programs that might assist our clients in developing projects. CDP's objective is to maximize various funding sources while minimizing the burden on the local community.

KNOWLEDGE: With the project financing in place, CDP utilizes our experience in governmental programs and regulatory compliance to manage your projects. CDP believes that it is our responsibility to stay on top of all state and federal regulations and to ensure that you are in compliance with all guidelines that might govern a particular project. This program knowledge will allow you to maximize the availability of government programs for your community.

EXPERIENCE: Experience is a wonderful teacher and with many years of project management experience, the Community Development Partner Team knows how to stay on top of your project and how to handle problems as they may arise. CDP serves as an extension of your own staff working with contractors, engineers, and governmental agencies to ensure that your project is successfully completed. CDP's pledge to our clients is to approach each project with their best interest at hand and in a fiscally responsible manner so that their project can be completed on time and within the budget
