Who We Are

We are your partners in giving the community a voice and bringing innovative ideas to life

We live by our why.

We provide ideas, data analysis, resources, and implementation assistance to businesses and communities to maximize their growth and re/development. To do this, we follow the belief that “every challenge deserves a unique solution.”

No two markets are alike and therefore should not be wedged into a standard process. We approach each project from the client’s perspective and work to deliver a high-quality, usable, forward-thinking, custom-designed solution based on the specific circumstances of that time, place, and other affecting factors.

We also believe that stakeholder engagement is integral in both the formation and implementation of each plan or project. Local institutional knowledge and experiences provide much-needed context and further our understanding of the perceived challenges and opportunities in the community.

Our Story

Original Team – Kristen Fish-Peterson, Mike Morrissey, Lyn Falk, Tim Anderson, and Deb Ersland.

Redevelopment Resources has leveraged existing relationships in both the private and public sector to put together a team of professionals to provide re/development solutions and research services to municipalities, businesses and organizations. Our experience was gained primarily from active successful careers working in economic and community development, planning, and marketing fields. Established in 2009, by Kristen Fish-Peterson and Deb Ersland in Wausau, WI. In 2015, the company moved to Madison, WI where it is located today.

Services offerings include:

  • Economic and community re/development of downtowns, brownfields and greenfields
  • Real estate site evaluation, project feasibility, and market analysis
  • Business support services and marketing including retail merchandizing and design
  • Strategic and comprehensive planning
  • Group facilitation
  • Research and analysis of economic impacts of development, market development, target industry analysis and project feasibility analysis


Because of the breadth of experience of our team members, we have:

  • 165+ combined years of experience
  • 80+ in-depth market studies for communities and private sector businesses
  • 100+ sites analyzed for development or redevelopment
  • 16 states and provinces where we have positively impacted communities


Clients have engaged Redevelopment Resources over multiple projects and multiple years. One of the highest honors we receive is when a client implements each and every one of our recommendations and calls us back to develop the next set of strategies with them.
