Consulting

We help teams turn big goals into clear plans. We can build a strategy from scratch or strengthen one that already exists.


Strategic Planning, Housing Consulting

Strategic Planning

Turn vision into action

We help communities set clear priorities, make smart investments, and move from ideas to action.


A Roadmap for Uptown

We helped Uptown Grand Rapids update its five-year strategic plan, with clear priorities for business growth, public spaces, mobility, and long-term sustainability.

Housing Consulting

Reimagine Underutilized Neighborhoods

We help communities see how underused properties could become places for more housing, local businesses, public spaces, and long-term growth.

We look at the numbers, the market, and the site itself to help communities understand what is realistic and what would make the biggest difference.

Developing Housing True to the Interlochen Spirit

Interlochen has a rare kind of magic: pine-scented air, quiet lakes, deep forests, and a world-class arts culture woven into daily life. This site—currently a single-purpose grocery site and large parking areas—could become a welcoming village gateway with homes, small businesses, green space, and walkable streets.

“Flywheel helped us see opportunities we didn’t know existed. Their ability to connect policy, financing, and community vision gave us the confidence to move forward on projects that seemed impossible before. They don’t just give you a plan — they help you build the momentum to actually make it happen.”

Let’s Find the Path

Big ideas need a clear path forward.

We bring a clear outside perspective, ask the right questions, and help teams turn competing priorities into clear decisions and a practical plan they can carry out.
