When Interstate Business Solutions needed federal and state regulatory alignment to activate a public-private partnership in Indiana, Shepherd Strategies helped connect the dots—facilitating coordination across FHWA requirements, state transportation officials, and local stakeholders to bring a compelling project to life. The result benefits the local community, the state, and federal infrastructure goals simultaneously. Building on Phase 1’s success, Shepherd Strategies is now working with Interstate Business Solutions to replicate this model nationwide.
After a devastating fire destroyed Block Island’s iconic Harborside Inn in August 2023, Shepherd Strategies partnered with The Haynes Group to help rebuild, not just the structure, but the stakeholder alignment needed to make it possible.

The Harborside Inn, a cornerstone of Rhode Island’s tourism economy since 1879, is anticipated to reopen in summer 2027.
