Projects 

Impresa's services deliver value to their clients and to client stakeholders.  To get a better idea of our work, consider this portfolio of our recent projects.  

The Young and the Restless

Together with Coletta & Company, Impresa has undertaken a path-breaking study of the migration and settlement patterns of 25 to 34-year olds, and the impact of this migration on metropolitan prosperity.  Our initial work focused on six cities:  Memphis, Philadelphia, Portland, Providence, Richmond and Tampa Bay.

EconData.Net

Impresa operates EconData.Net, the web's premiere guide to state and local socioeconomic data, in partnership with Andrew Reamer & Associates.  This award-winning site has links to more than 1000 sources of data for states, cities and counties, and is sponsored in part by the Fannie Mae Foundation.

Oregon Business Plan

Working with the Oregon Business Council and a coalition of other Oregon business associations, Impresa has provided economic analysis in the development of the Oregon Business Plan.  Now in its third year, the Oregon Business Plan provides strategic direction and specific initiatives to guide efforts to bolster the Oregon economy and draws the annual participation of hundreds of key Oregon leaders.

OregonClusters.ORG

Established as an initiative of the Oregon Business Plan, OregonClusters.org is the focal point of efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of the states traded sector industries.  Building on analytical and organizational work undertaken by Impresa, OregonClusters.org is a guide to how you can connect to cluster development activities throughout the state.
