What our clients have to say...


Hometown Consulting has been an extremely valuable resource for the Village of Metamora.

"Each member of the team has a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to help. From GIS mapping to Enterprise Zone implementation and everything in between, Hometown Consulting tailors the services they provide to what your community needs. As a small community, Metamora has vastly benefitted from working with Hometown Consulting and looks forward to the work we will continue to do with Hometown’s guidance."

Economic Development Coordinator, Village of Metamora

Even seasoned design professionals need a helping hand.

"Hometown Consulting, Cole and Matt, were on the ground in Henry, Illinois equipped with and informed by data-driven economic and business development tools to help us find a spot and launch a hybrid of design studio and designer-curated retail space. Upon hearing their gap analysis, we strategically placed and designed Allenia Space to become a place for the community to engage in diverse programs. Our Free Friday events now offer manga drawing sessions, films on diverse subjects like the world of murals, ways to incorporate nature gardens in rural settings, and more.  "Don't wait for things to happen. Make them happen" (Roy T. Bennett). When you do, it will take a village. Make sure you have Hometown Consulting to support you."
