REDBIRD DEVELOPMENT GROUP
Redbird provides actionable plans for mobilizing private sector resources and expertise to advance the standing of any geographic area as a global center of economic opportunity, upward mobility, and innovation.
Beginnings
The firm began as the formalization of the activities of Michael Pemberton Scott, a Maryland native who dedicated much of his life to exploring economic development opportunities for his home state. Without compensation, or official position, he spent nearly 30 years creating innovative public / private partnerships with an emphasis on training and re-education of Maryland’s workforce.
A graduate of The London School of Economics, one of Michael’s former roommates learned of his work, and suggested the unique approach be packaged for accessibility in cities, states, and countries far beyond Maryland.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to uncover the hidden and overlooked attributes of a city/state and transform them to a sustainable competitive advantage. In the process of our work, every engagement seeks to include sociological groups that have been historically excluded from wealth creation generated by economic development.
In other words, we go beyond jobs offered to local minorities after the economic engine has been built. We present innovative ways that historical disenfranchised groups can participate in asset ownership in and around the projects. This may include direct investment, real estate, supply chain participation, and other forms.

Our bespoke consulting engagements delve into implementation and executions rarely found with traditional consultants.
