Three of the state of Indiana’s premier firms have joined forces to create the Economic Growth Team: Garmong Construction Services, Hannum, Wagle & Cline Engineering (HWC) and Strategic Development Group (SDG).

The team will assist Indiana communities and private companies to build foundations for sustainable, long-term job growth and economic development.

What makes this alliance different is its comprehensive approach. It provides targeted professional services from surveys that gauge public support, financing and leasing assistance, to construction of environmentally sustainable infrastructure, sites and buildings.

The Economic Growth Team can help:

• Analyze economic and community development needs for sound planning.
• Prioritize capital improvements in areas such as business park development, transportation, land use, environmental protection, public facilities, and downtown revitalization.
• Finance, design and build selected capital improvements that will provide a firm foundation for present and future job growth.

Garmong and HWC have been affiliated since 1989, and Garmong has been in business since 1923. Both firms have offices in Indianapolis, Lafayette, Scottsburg, and Terre Haute. Ralph Wagle, who serves as president of both firms, emphasized that, “The relationship between Garmong and HWC has been a tremendous advantage to our clients in providing seamless design, project financing, and build services. But positioning communities and companies to prosper requires strategic investments in infrastructure and facilities. With SDG as a partner, we have added a new dimension to our ability to help our clients make wise investment decisions.”

SDG has provided research, planning, and management services for hundreds of Indiana communities. The firm has been in business since 1991 with their corporate office in Bloomington.
