What People Are Saying

“The City of North Port sought out the help of professionals when we were figuring out the retail gap and opportunities for our fast-growing and new city. RMA worked hard and diligently and provided us with a well-put-together plan that was data-backed, and market-based. The results came almost immediately. North Port doubled its retail space in a brief period resulting in increased jobs, increased investments and revenues, and a constant stream of very positive feedback from our residents and taxpayers. “I don’t have to drive out of my community anymore to do my regular shopping needs,” was one of the constant comments I received. The retail attraction that we implemented complemented the overall economic development strategy for the City, so much so that just 2-3 years later the Milken Institute named the North Port metro area as the #1 Best Performing City of Florida. Thank you, Kevin, Sharon, and the RMA Team.”

"Pompano Beach Blvd has surpassed the Wow! factor. I was just there last weekend and parked near the pier and was very impressed by the promenade. And the rapid transformation along Atlantic Blvd is overwhelmingly positive. Leave it to RMA to get things in motion!! The work you all do makes one prouder to live in Pompano Beach."

– Mark McDonnell, AICP Assistant Director, Planning and Zoning Dept., City of Delray Beach (on Pompano Beach Revitalization)

“I can say without any hesitation that hiring RMA to help us implement our redevelopment program is without a doubt one of the best decisions that we have made as an agency. I would highly recommend them to any CRA or Municipality that requires expert help in moving their initiatives forward.”

– Jeremy Earle, ASLA AICP, Former Executive Director of Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency

“RMA is comprised of highly experienced and qualified professionals that are responsive and dedicated. We recommend RMA for their ability to envision, analyze and implement goals.”

– Dennis Beach, Former City Manager, City of Pompano Beach, Florida

As a Commissioner for the City of Fort Lauderdale, I worked for 20 years with many addressing quality of life issues and bringing change. In that capacity I met and worked with a number of professionals. None were more proficient in bringing that change to life than the association with members of RMA. Many properties were improved and investment made in areas that for years, had neither. The CRA has been and now is, an economic engine for redevelopment in this boundary. CRA’s require expertise different than other forms of government, RMA has that!”

– Carlton Moore (1954-2014), Former City Commissioner, City of Fort Lauderdale

“Kim’s ability to help the Fort Lauderdale CRA create a vision for redevelopment and then to gather the private partners to execute on that vision was amazing!”

– Alan Hooper, Hooper Construction, Ft. Lauderdale

“The best thing the Pompano Beach CRA did was to hire RMA to be our Executive Directors and managers, and they have made milestones of progress in such a very short period of time.”

– Mayor Lamar Fisher in an address on October 7, 2010 to the Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce

RMA is the Gold standard for redevelopment. I've known them for more than 15 years but only recently got to work with them. They did not disappoint. Their ability to explain complex project mapping into palatable, relatable pieces to staff and our board is a real skill set.

– Antranette Forbes, Former Economic Development Director for the City of St. Cloud.

We were so pleased with the outcome of this award winning project. When we began, we knew RMA could deliver a great strategic plan, but as the work began and RMA uncovered the possibilities, we were amazed at their acumen in the real estate world, too. They were able to engage the overseas property owners as well as land Amazon. That was a win-win for everyone.

– Jerry Mayes, former Economic Development Director, City of Deltona

This project has been a long time coming. I returned to the very community that raised me-not just to restore it, but to help it rise. Now, watching it come alive with purpose and pride has been deeply rewarding.

– Genia Baker, the CRA's Sunset Lounge and Historic Northwest Project Manager

RMA staffs a portion of our office, and their expertise in the world of redevelopment has been nothing short of transformative. They've been a true game changer for the West Palm Beach CRA, helping us become one of the leading innovators in redevelopment across the state. We can always count on them to deliver.

– Christopher Roog, Executive Director, West Palm Beach CRA
