Invested in Development: Strategic development specialists secure major funding for north country

Perhaps no one has brought home more grant funding to the north country than Leann West and Diane Wladis, owners of a Syracuse-based consulting firm that has worked with communities, governmental entities, not-for-profit organizations and private businesses. The pair own and operate Strategic Development Specialists and have become successful grant writers, with an expertise in governmental relations and economic development work. Since 2012, they’ve been successful in securing tens of millions of dollars in grants for such diverse clients as the city of Watertown, the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority, local developers and a number of health care organizations in Central New York.
