Please contact us at gulottagroup@pa.net for detailed information on our on-site technical assistance and training.

Strategic Planning Facilitation

Community development and housing organizations are faced with new challenges every day. Recently, state and federal funding reductions have put even more pressure on these organizations to identify core program priorities and to develop action plans for implementing these priorities. The Gulotta Group has developed a scope of work for these facilitation services, available upon request.

Technical assistance in implementing an action plan is available as a set fee or on an hourly rate basis. Please contact us at gulottagroup@pa.net for details.

  • Testimonials

    • "Chris Gulotta and the Gulotta Group have brought to municipal officials all across the Commonwealth extensive hands-on experience and a one-on-one approach to solving important local issues related to blight removal and economic development with tools available to all municipal governments, no matter their size. Chris Gulotta has earned our respect and trust and I know he has and will continue to assist our members at anytime and with any question."

      -- Ed Knittel, Senior Director of Education and Sustainability, Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs

      "The Gulotta Group has provided strategic planning for Perry Housing Partnership and other non-profit agencies in Perry County. When working with the Board of Directors, Chris solicited opinions and ideas and cast a wide net to ensure that everyone had ample opportunity to participate in the process. Chris brings to the table a unique innate ability to analyze disparate ideas, concepts and opinions and synthesize those tangents into a coordinated and concise action plan. His unbiased perspective provided a clear vision to guide our organization into the future."

      -- Jeannine Matulevich, Executive Director, Perry Housing Partnership

      "Chris Gulotta assisted us in developing a Blight Strategy for our county. His knowledge of the tools available to address blight, along with his experience applying them as a former Executive Director of a Redevelopment Authority were instrumental to the success of our process. Chis is an excellent facilitator and wealth of knowledge! He has continued to stay interested in our process; making recommendations for potential funding opportunities and potential projects for consideration. We enjoyed working with Chris in McKean County and look forward to working with him again in the future."

      -- Dusti Dennis, Executive Director, McKean County Redevelopment & Housing Authority

      "The Redevelopment Authority engaged Mr. Gulotta in late 2011 to facilitate a strategic planning process...Both the process and the product were extremely successful. Mr. Gulotta brought two major strengths to bear: 1) A deep knowledge of the housing and redevelopment fields, gained from many years of direct personal experience, and 2) A personal style that set an appropriately professional tone while effectively drawing people into the discussion...Despite multiple changes to the scope of work, Mr. Gulotta readily responded to our changing needs and kept us focused on a well-balanced approach. I would strongly recommend Mr. Gulotta and The Gulotta Group for any such assignment."

      -- Matthew Sternberg, Executive Director, Lancaster County Housing & Redevelopment Authorities
