As someone who is unfamiliar with economic development/planning, I'd be much more likely to engage with you if I understood what the scope of services such activity entails. I imagine that many in your target market may be in a similar situation. The phrase "planning and economic development" brought a number of ideas to mind, like designing public incentives to attract local businesses, providing support for such businesses, identifying "holes" in the local economy that businesses can be encouraged to fill, marketing the local area to businesses elsewhere, etc. But I'm guessing that I'm probably missing some important pieces to the puzzle, and your site doesn't give me many specifics to go on. I wonder if (especially in small communities) folks might not understand what you're offering. If so, they might not engage with you because they (like me) aren't knowledgeable about such services/activities. It might be helpful to provide a sense of the services/resources you're offering and some verbiage that fleshes this out a bit. A quick web search turned this[0], among other stuff up, but I'm not clear if that's even applicable to the communities you wish to serve. While the goals you discuss seem to be both meritorious and have significant potential to help small communities, it might be helpful to provide more concrete examples as to what your services seek to accomplish, and provide some resources to give interested people a better understanding of what "planning and economic development" actually entails. What you're proposing seems to have a lot of potential and could help smaller communities to prosper. I hope you have much success!
