Avenue Advisory Group goes beyond the data.
The way we live and work is constantly changing. Unfortunately, corporate site selection is not keeping up. Vibrant communities are being reduced to byte-sized data points, entered into a matrix and casually dismissed.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help communities and corporations find their best fit, position economic development organizations for success, and ensure that our corporate clients have the information they need to make critical business location decisions.
We embed ourselves in the community. We walk the streets. We sit in boardrooms. We listen to job seekers and decision-makers. We pride ourselves on gaining insight into factors that data can’t always account for.
Custom, comprehensive services
that scale to meet your needs.

About Avenue Advisory Group
