High Impact Program

The High Impact Program recognizes and nurtures locally headquartered, fast growth companies that drive growth in our region and are responsible for the majority of new jobs and investment created. 

Companies selected to the High Impact Program represent a diversified portfolio, much like a stock portfolio, and include "gazelle" or fast growth companies, "renaissance" or companies undergoing revitalization and "enablers" that facilitate fast growth in other businesses.

Looking collectively at these fast-growth companies as the "High Impact Portfolio" includes businesses across many industry sectors - small to large in size - and enables us to critically evaluate their value, satisfaction level, growth potential, risk factors, strengths and opportunities within the local community.

As a partner in supporting a company’s growth through the High Impact Program, we:

  • Deliver a comprehensive and confidential company evaluation
  • Provide assistance in the areas of growth capital,  tax incentive application , talent attraction and site selection  
  • Facilitate networking and peer relationship building
  • Offer public recognition opportunities as is best suited for each High Impact company

 
 Our objective is always to determine "How can we help you grow your business?"
