Disclosure: River & Main operates as an independent nonprofit focused on early-stage planning, pre-development, and capacity-building services. In certain instances, affiliated for-profit entities may independently pursue development or implementation roles following completion of River & Main’s pre-development work; however, River & Main does not condition its services on the selection of any particular developer and may facilitate engagement with multiple qualified third-party partners through transparent and arms-length processes.
