Our Mission
Since we work with a wide array of clients in a variety of ways, sometimes explaining exactly "what we do" can take a while to explain. So let's just say that when there is a need in the community, we aim to help our clients fill it. Whether it's helping large employers decide where their charitable dollars are invested in the community, managing a real estate development project that takes over 10 years to come to fruition, or working with community stakeholders to build a downtown business district, we take on projects that help improve the quality of life in the Lehigh Valley. For a sampling of the services we provide, see below.

““Lehigh University began working with Taggart Associates on a variety of initiatives focused on improving Southside Bethlehem in 2012. Taggart’s collaborative approach to community and economic development has really helped further cement the strong relationship between the University, the City of Bethlehem, and many other stakeholders in our community. Their deep roots and knowledge of Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley are an invaluable resource and their passion for supporting this community really shines through in everything they do.””
““The sheer breadth of issues that Taggart Associates helped us manage on the Simon Silk Mill project was amazing. From site planning, to environmental, to grant writing and administration, to engaging private partners, to overseeing engineering design and construction, they played an invaluable role in our ability to navigate an incredibly complicated process.””
