2024 Year in Review — Forward Together
As the books officially close on 2024 and momentum builds in 2025, many companies are still feeling the weight of a cautious capital environment. Interest rates remain high, investment timelines are tight, and leaders continue to make strategic decisions under pressure. Added to that, evolving trade dynamics and renewed tariff considerations are beginning to shape how companies evaluate supply chains, cost structures, and market positioning.
At KMK Consulting, we’ve seen these dynamics up close. And in response, we’ve doubled down on what we do best: aligning public-sector tools with private-sector priorities to help our clients move forward — not just decisively, but together.
Throughout 2024, we partnered with companies navigating complex site decisions, reinvestments, and growth strategies — helping to unlock the state and local resources needed to make those moves possible. Our approach remained steady: thoughtful engagement, strong execution, and a commitment to long-term partnership.
We’re proud of what was achieved last year and remain focused on what lies ahead — building progress, navigating complexity, and moving forward together.
