About

The ability to transform communities requires ownership. It is impossible to make change when that change is controlled by someone else.

The Allen Strategy Group was created to address decades of disinvestment and disenfranchisement in underserved communities. Our goal is to impact economic development in urban neighborhoods through the introduction of new business and industry, as well as innovative programs that support urban renewal. Working in concert with local agencies, non-profits, municipalities and citizens, we intend to perfect change in urban neighborhoods that improve quality of life.

Our unique approach to economic development is derived from decades of applied best practices,

as well as documented outcomes and experience. Among those experiences is the knowledge

gained that no number of government programs can elevate quality of life in urban

communities. That is a task that must be undertaken by citizens of those communities. To that

end we are here to support all interested parties.
