Market Research + Data

The great communities are here. BRIDGE can help tell their stories with proprietary data that meets their needs.

While some communities have the resources to access proprietary economic data and manage it effectively, many do not. This disparity can hinder the ability to complete detailed Requests For Information (RFIs) for projects ranging from retail to housing to tourism. BRIDGE provides communities across the region access to essential data they need to present strong RFIs, thereby attracting more business and investment to Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

Why is data important?

BRIDGE offers the communities, companies, and organizations we serve free reports to help make the best case for your economic development projects. Whether you are a company justifying an incentive request; a not-for-profit organization seeking grants to help fund a project to benefit your community; a city, county, or town making a case for locating a new business or expanding an existing operation; or an elected official striving to help taxpayers understand the benefits of supporting a new project; we can provide customized research through IMPLAN, Lightcast, Esri, and Instrumentl - all at no charge to you.​ See the software we have access to above, and if you need help figuring out how BRIDGE can help with the heavy lifting in your research and data space, fill out the form below.
