At 1964 Consulting, we think differently about how governments, organizations and institutions impact the places that we live.

Vibrant places are built on many interconnected factors and require a thoughtful blend of place-making, investment in people and community, and strategic economic and tourism planning.

We take a systems-thinking approach to our consulting services for Local Governments, Not-for-Profit, Academic and Economic Development & Tourism Organizations. We draw on diverse experiences and skill sets to go beyond traditional silos.

We are not just consultants. We are trusted partners who will work collaboratively with you to shape custom strategies and solutions that impact the places we live.
