For more than 20 years, FaegreBD Consulting has been assisting with project conceptualization, design and implementation to help advance many communities' vision. Our strategic consulting services to communities and local governments are rooted in our team members' direct experience working in local government and on Capitol Hill.

With an intimate understanding of the multi-faceted federal budgeting and appropriations processes, developed from serving communities and local government, FaegreBD Consulting works with clients to help them secure federal funds through Congressional appropriations, competitive grants authorizations, and in-kind assistance.

Today the challenges faced by communities and local governments are changing as Congress and executive branch agencies work to combat both climate change and economic recession. This presents an excellent opportunity for communities and construction projects to advance quickly and reduce greenhouse gas emissions given the vast incentives available. FaegreBD Consulting's energy climate and environment professionals help clients tap into these little-known benefits and connect projects with other businesses and government officials.

LEEDs

More and more clients are considering LEED certification for buildings they are building, leasing or acquiring. With a national trend of LEED certification becoming more popular, it is increasingly important to recognize the legal protections and considerations that surround decisions involving LEED certification buildings. Faegre Baker Daniels lawyers guide clients in properly considering the ramifications of LEED certification and addressing legal considerations accordingly.
