Collaborating for Stronger Local Communities
The Better Future Alliance is a growing network of professionals and organizations dedicated to revitalizing New England’s rural and semi-rural communities. Formed and led by ADG LLC, the Alliance brings together planners, economists, designers, engineers, communicators, and community advocates who share one goal: to build a better future through collaboration, creativity, and commitment. We do this with a network of individuals who offer a range of services that promote economic development in the U.S. These include training, seminars and workshops, strategizing, marketing, branding, workforce development, research, financial packaging, industrial recruitment, business retention and expansion. No single agency or consultant can do it all. Real progress happens when local knowledge, professional expertise, and available funding come together, and that takes a collaborative network.
Our Goal
To unite the strengths of diverse community development partner – public, private, and nonprofit so that every town, region, and neighborhood has the resources it needs to grow stronger, more vibrant, and more economically resilient.
Through the Better Future Alliance, ADG builds bridges between:
Local communities and funders
Developers and municipal leaders
Planning experts and on-the-ground implementers
The result: coordinated strategies, actionable plans, and measurable outcomes that make a visible difference in the communities we serve.
