Woodward Rusnock Consulting has experience in completing Feasibility Studies for private developers and public entities to ascertain the viability of a proposed project, identify impediments, and provide customers with the information they need to make the right choices.
WR is also skilled in completing Economic Impact Analyses that determine the financial impact of an entity, project, or action.
All of our Feasibility Studies, Market Studies, and Economic Impact Analyses are based on sound research, reliable data, and careful analyses that our clients can count on.

GRANT PREPARATION & MANAGEMENT.
WR's roots lie in grant writing and program implementation. Our expertise in grantsmanship. We have experience working with different State, federal, and private funding sources. Grant preparation and management are integral components of the many services we provide our clients.
We recognize that grant development is more than just grant writing. We help our clients define their needs, research relevant funding options, design programs to meet their specific requirements, and prepare the funding applications.
