Redevelopment Management Associates

What Redevelopment Management Associates does

Redevelopment Management Associates (RMA) is a full-service consulting and management firm serving municipal governments, Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs), counties, and special districts. Its work combines economic development strategy, tax-base stabilization, redevelopment planning, real estate advisory, business attraction, placemaking, place branding, marketing, and implementation management.

RMA assembles economic developers, urban designers, planners, real estate brokers, marketing professionals, and financial analysts, and states that its principals and many team members previously worked directly for government entities. This public-sector experience informs its understanding of municipal operations, rules, and regulations. The firm does not develop proprietary technology products or offer a public or partner-facing API, so its output is principally professional advice, plans, and management support.

RMA reaches clients through direct consultative sales to city governments, CRAs, counties, and special districts. Public input meetings, stakeholder meetings, town halls, and online surveys are integral to its strategic planning process, making municipal relationships and community adoption central to the delivery model.
