Together, we’re unstoppable! When our powers combine, we can make an EDO Breakthrough.
Community is the Heart of What We Do
At PPR Strategies, the community is at the heart of everything we do. Our team is passionate about telling the stories of placemaking organizations nationwide. We believe that economic development and placemaking have the power to transform lives and that the challenges our communities face are not always easily overcome.
Fortified by this commitment to the community, PPR Strategies has created the EDO Breakthrough podcast to offer a space where professionals like you can come together, raise our voices, and spark meaningful conversations about the issues that shape our growing communities. Join us on this exciting journey to progress!
