I want to thank you for guiding us through the Certified Entrepreneurial Community designation and helping us build up the entrepreneurial spirit here in Moore County. If it weren’t for you, we probably would not have hosted the entrepreneurial summit, which had almost 200 attendees and sparked entrepreneurship in Moore County.

The Town of Woodstock was thrilled with the work of Creative Economic Development Consulting on a project that included property assessments, a market analysis, and redevelopment strategies. Their professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the process, and the deliverables, including a detailed written report and engaging presentation, showcased Crystal’s commitment to excellence. They delivered the products on time and on budget, and I wholeheartedly recommend Creative Economic Development Consulting to any municipality seeking assistance with economic development solutions.
