CASE STUDIES: STRATEGY TO SUCCESS

Transforming a City's Future

THE CHALLENGE

A city with significant cultural history and waterfront potential faced a critical question: how could they leverage federal resources to drive downtown revitalization and regional economic development? The opportunity was clear, but the path forward required strategic federal advocacy, creative legislative solutions, and sustained partnership.

OUR APPROACH

We developed and executed a comprehensive legislative strategy centered on the city’s unique assets: downtown riverfront location and rich cultural heritage. Working closely with the city and their congressional delegation, we pursued a multi-faceted campaign that combined appropriations, legislative policy changes, and creative federal partnerships.

RESULTS DELIVERED

  • Nearly $20 million in federal funding secured across multiple projects
  • First National Park Service Heritage Area west of the Mississippi River established through federal legislation in 2000
  • Federal land exchange authorized with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, facilitating an $80 million downtown/riverfront development project

THE IMPACT : A transformed downtown, preserved cultural heritage, and a foundation for sustained economic growth that continues benefiting the community today.

building workforce readiness for the future

THE CHALLENGE

A community college recognized the critical need for trained professionals in applied forensics, cyber crime, and cybersecurity—fields experiencing explosive growth and severe workforce shortages. They had the vision and expertise but needed federal investment to build the specialized facilities and curriculum required.

OUR APPROACH

We executed a targeted advocacy strategy on Capitol Hill and with key federal agencies, positioning the institution as a strategic partner in addressing national cybersecurity workforce needs. Our campaign combined competitive grant applications with direct congressional engagement and agency relationship-building.

RESULTS DELIVERED 

  • $1.42 million in discretionary and competitive federal funding secured
  • Funding supported facility development, infrastructure upgrades, and comprehensive curriculum development
  • Positioned the institution as a regional leader in cybersecurity education

THE IMPACT:  Students now receive cutting-edge training in high-demand fields, employers gain access to qualified talent, and the community benefits from enhanced cybersecurity capacity.

What These Results Mean

Every dollar secured represents opportunity: infrastructure that connects communities, education that transforms lives, and resources that solve real problems. Behind each funding announcement is a team that navigated complex federal processes, built strategic relationships, and refused to accept “no” as a final answer.

These results don’t happen by accident. They happen through strategic planning, persistent advocacy, and deep relationships with the decision-makers who control federal resources.

TESTIMONIALS

​I have worked with Ron Hamm over the last 12 years to advance the Yuma, AZ riverfront redevelopment project. To date, we have achieved more than $100 million of public and private investment along seven miles of waterfront.

Ron’s contributions have been invaluable. He guided the effort to secure National Heritage Area designation and the funding associated with it. He worked with our delegation to pass a complicated land exchange legislation with the Bureau of Reclamation, which was critical to the city of Yuma controlling all riverfront land. He facilitated a major expansion of federal funding for wetlands restoration and helped secure $28 million in stimulus funds to build our new federal courthouse.

I can say without hesitation that the Yuma project simply would not have been successful without Ron’s steady, long-term involvement. I give Ron Hamm my highest recommendation.

It is obvious how much everyone on Capitol Hill, including members of Congress and federal agency officials respect him. He holds their trust and confidence and is welcomes in his offices on both sides of the aisle. Ron is calm, collected, and confident without being arrogant, and is trusted by all.
