OUR APPROACH

Rising Tide Development Strategies works as a co-development partner for municipal entities.  We specialize in complex multi-party transactions that optimize the needs of each party and deliver real value to all stakeholders.

Our technology-agnostic P3 model allows us to address the unique challenges of municipalities by:

1

INCREASING CAPACITY

Through our co-development model, Rising Tide Development Strategies functions as a staff extension to help municipal entities evaluate and determine what makes sense and how best to implement solutions.  We sit on the same side of the table as the municipality.

2

DECREASING COMPLEXITY

Co-development allows us to assist municipal entities in simplifying the process of procuring clean energy and related infrastructure.  We help municipal leaders resolve and prioritize their goals and then run a process to obtain the best solutions at the right prices.

3

UNLOCKING CAPITAL

We bring private capital to public projects through a “Sustainability-as-a-Service” model, where a third-party owns the infrastructure and assumes the risks of maintenance and failure, while the municipal entity pays a “subject-to-appropriations” monthly fee for those services. 

Leadership
