Client
A leading global technology company engaged DMA to support an investment opportunity in Oregon.
Challenge
The company approached DMA to assist with the incentive procurement process as they realized that state rules would not allow tenants to utilize the landlord’s enterprise zone incentives. However, a reduced timeline and turbulent political climate impacted the likelihood of community approval of enterprise zone applications.
Solution
DMA worked quickly with the company to obtain critical information needed to expedite zone applications. Throughout the process, DMA navigated hurdles that involved several members of the DMA team working after regular business hours to keep discussions progressing. When presented with potential negative news, DMA worked with the company and jurisdiction to move discussions forward, ultimately getting critical meetings scheduled and the application approved.
Result
DMA’s dedicated data center team and local experts worked together to accelerate applications and navigate the changing climate to achieve approvals prior to a pending deadline.
DMA’s ability to quickly work through applications and navigate a challenging environment created potential project savings of $8.3M, critical to the client approving the investment within the jurisdiction.
