As a member of Urban Land Institute (ULI), an international land use planning organization, Deeter Gallaher Group leverages our network to help clients build healthier communities and strengthen small business opportunities. Creating an event, choosing a theme, and selecting an influencer panel to highlight our client’s commercial real estate expertise was a branding win with multiple ROIs. Titled ”ULI Philadelphia: Making Place on Market: How Commercial Redevelopment in Camp Hill Is Attracting Women Business Owners," our team took an idea from think to tweet with servcies that included:
Camp Hill Borough is recognized as one of the top ten places to start a business in Pennsylvania. In 2016, the Borough commissioned a ULI Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) for a roadmap to revitalize businesses and plan a walkable community. Following the TAP advice point-for-point, downtown Camp Hill is experiencing remarkable growth in retail and professional service businesses. One major catalyst for this new growth is Neighbors & Smith, a 40,000 SF mixed-use retail and office project that is redeveloping an entire block in the downtown business district. At the event, Richard E. Jordan III, president and CEO of Smith Land & Improvement Corporation, led a panel of stakeholders in discussing opportunities to attract women-owned businesses as tenants and their ability to connect a community beyond buying and selling.
