Northland Strategies

Northland Strategies provides public and private clients with consulting services in the areas of real estate development, group process, service studies and financial planning. Each project is based on four key principles:

• Exploring client needs and the range of possible solutions.
• Analyzing the issues to provide clear and accurate information for decision making.
• Educating to ensure that the client understands the alternatives and their implications.
• Facilitating a process that creates the commitment to act on results.

Northland Strategies blends extensive problem solving resources with the capital finance capabilities of Northland Securities. Since its origin in October 2002, Northland Securities and its affiliates have underwritten more than $4 billion of notes and securities, primarily tax exempt municipal bonds. Northland is a proven leader in financing regional capital market needs. This experience and growing presence in the marketplace allows Northland to help you create and implement plans that address the financial challenges facing your community.

We encourage you to contact us even if your need does not seem to fit into this list of services. We maintain an extensive network of consulting relationships. Some projects require us to assemble a consulting team to provide the necessary skills and expertise. If we cannot meet your needs, we will direct you to other resources.
