About Us

The firm is led by it’s founder, Reese Fayde, who brings to each assignment more than 30 years of experience in urban planning, affordable housing and organizational development work. Having worked across the country, in public and private sector situations,  Reese  is  able  to  draw  from  a  large   deep  and  diverse  pool  of  colleagues  to  make  the  right  match  for  any  selected  engagement.  She  is able  to  provide  access  to  bold  and  creative  thinkers  when  “re-imagining”  is  called  for.  Then  she  can  bring  in  hands-on  professionals  able  to  test  and  modify  big  ideas  and  initiatives  into  workable  strategies that the client can own and implement.  

Recent  Projects have utilized the skills of a former City Manager of major US city, a retail expert who had transformed a landmarked rail terminal, a small business coach for new ventures, the head of a community development corporation, an affordable mixed use housing developer, a major public arts designer, a grant maker for national arts initiative, a meeting facilitator who guided the public approval process for post-hurricane redevelopment plans, a regional planning council, an award-winning urban design firm, a nationally recognized economic development strategist, and seasoned grant writers.  All bring their full talents and commitment to quality service to each and every assignment that they do with RFA.
