“I just discovered your blog/handbook about Investment Ready Places. My city is a suburban, mid-sized town taking active steps toward becoming a full-service urban place. We are investment ready! How do we get added to the IRC map?” -Pete Sullivan, City Of Redmond, Planning Department

“I thought it would be good to get your advice on potential studio project sites for the graduate urban designers for this coming fall semester.... It would be great to engage in some of the more challenging issues facing small working class towns such as some of the sites you have identified on your investment ready website.....”

-John Griffin, University of Notre Dame

“Love the site. Looks like it covers a lot of ground that is just as relevant in provincial New Zealand as it is in the States. I'm interested in using the IRP Checklist as a way to canvass the views of local stakeholders and also get some discussion on the IRP topic going as it looks to me like a very neat way of encapsulating what is a large topic.”
