Economic Development 

Alabama is open for business and opportunities for corporations to enter the State or expand their existing business are fruitful. Barton & Kinney can help you navigate through the complex process of receiving economic development incentives. Maximizing the available assistance is key to making an economic development project a success. We have the experience and the relationships to help your company get the biggest advantage from the State and Local governments.


Procurement

Government contracts are a crucial sales component for many corporations, and the process can be challenging to navigate. Often bureaucracy, regulations, and rules can drive companies away from the opportunity entirely. Understanding what an agency or governmental entity needs, knowing the best way to approach the process, and having the right relationships with key decision makers, makes B&K clients successful in the procurement of government contracts.
