Information and Insight for Project Evaluation
There are valuable resources everywhere in the form of natural resources and waste materials that can be repurposed; however, all resources are simply an opportunity to build a business. Leaders need information to decide if it makes sense and if it can be profitable. Goodrich Land Research (GLR) reviews resources, land status, logistics, markets, and other externalities to help solve the puzzle of whether or not a project makes sense. The guidance offered is a summary of that puzzle, including the talent and technical resources that will be needed to proceed.
What is Present?
What is Possible?
Natural resources development in the United States frequently occurs on state or federal public lands. These are generally managed by the Bureau of Land Management or the individual states. GLR offers land use guidance to determine ownership, restrictions, and opportunities. Our firm communicates land use and property research through the insight of GIS mapping and delivers concise documentation. Exceptional spatial intelligence and broad experience informs the way we see opportunities.
Redefining Resources and Waste
Broad experience guides research and review. Our principal has experience in railroad operations, logistics, manufacturing, and mineral development. Our strategic relationships draw upon deep knowledge of mineral economics, material handling, industrial processes, logistics management, and resource finance. With over 30 years of project research, we have a keen eye for opportunities others miss as we draw from multiple industries and fields of interest.
Brownfield vs. Greenfield: The difference is information and perspective
Whether old mines or old factories, today’s liabilities can represent tomorrow’s opportunities without development of current green spaces. Technology is constantly changing what is possible. There is value in looking backwards with fresh information. Even with advanced technologies, where is often more important than how. GLR applies broad knowledge of process, logistics, and economics to add to the value of diamonds in the rough. Cleanup with insight creates a new resource with added value in addition to repairing a liability.
All Resources are Community Resources, so what is the community voice?
Public ownership of resources, environmental requirements at all levels, and segregation of ownership can be sources of friction and conflict. Complete information of a projects’ requirements and attributes is essential. Stewardship seeks understanding of all voices for consideration, which enhances project value and aids feasibility. James is a communicator who inspires a team with a broader vision of possibilities, that is grounded in sound research. The challenge of each project is to look beyond economics and environmental attributes to arrive at what makes sense.
