William Fulton Group specializes in policy work around housing, land use, and economic development, though the firm has engaged in policy analysis on virtually all topics relevant to local governments and urban development. In working with public and private clients on policy issues, WFG offers:

 

• Skill at “forcing the question” and proposing strategic approaches.

• Political savvy and ability to communicate and relate to both elected officials and constituents/stakeholders.

• Ability to “see around corners” and identify trends and patterns that are difficult for others to identify.

• Ability to connect seemingly separate issues (land use, housing, economic development, governmental structures) in order to see the bigger picture.

• Use of “3D analysis” – statistical, spatial, and narrative – to provide well-rounded view especially of land- and housing-related policy issues.

• Extraordinary written and verbal communication skills.
