Case Study

City of Anaheim

To support Anaheim’s thriving business community, we’ve developed essential resources for local entrepreneurs. Our Small Business Financial Resource Guide provides comprehensive information on available financial support within the city. We’ve also created an in-depth memo explaining Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and how to form them, complemented by a concise one-page fact sheet for quick reference. These tools aim to empower Anaheim’s businesses with the knowledge and resources they need to grow and succeed.

Long Beach Civic Center

The City of Long Beach needed a new civic center without increasing spending. Public Infrastructure Financing Solutions make projects like this possible, using innovative DBFOM approaches with bonds, equity, and land sale proceeds. Jeffrey Fullerton, Project Director for Plenary Edgemoor Civic Partners, led planning and community outreach, earning unanimous approval. The Civic Center is now complete, with new apartments and a 4-acre park, showing how public-private partnerships can deliver high-impact infrastructure.
