The firm offers expertise in economic development, transportation planning, social and economic impact assessment, and waterfront development.

FXM Associates has successfully completed over 100 projects in its relatively brief history, and has grown to include a staff of experienced, highly qualified professionals in urban and regional economic development, transportation planning, and real estate development. In addition to its in-house resources, the firm regularly calls upon a network of experts who work on an as-needed basis to ensure clients a flexible response focused on their specific needs.
