Community Economic Development

Strong local economies are critical to long-term community sustainability.

ISC works with businesses, local nonprofits, corporations, and governments to ensure that as we help address environmental and social challenges, we’re also creating economic opportunities for residents and the larger community.

We also help make the business case for efficient use of resources (e.g. electricity, water).
