Industries We Serve
Public Sector
We help local governments solve real problems with clear thinking, creativity, and practical action.

Tier One Solutions works directly with cities and public agencies. Our team has experience in city management, public art, innovation, operations, and the nuts and bolts of getting complicated projects done. We focus on work that people can see in their neighborhoods and on helping cities use taxpayer dollars in ways that make sense.

Services We Offer

Communication, Branding & Public Engagement

We help cities explain what they are doing and why in plain language. We improve how cities share information inside departments and with the public so it is easy to find and easy to understand. We help connect a city’s values and visual brand so everything looks and sounds consistent. We also create better ways for residents to give feedback. Instead of long meetings or basic surveys, we use pop up listening booths, small conversations, and displays that let people respond right where they already are.

Public Private Partnerships, Grants and Fundraising

We help cities bring together public, private, and nonprofit partners to get important work done. We support grant writing, volunteer coordination, and in kind donations of materials or services. We help match private giving and philanthropy with real community needs so support goes where it matters most, and brings benefit to everyone at the table. We design partnerships that help cities stretch their resources and private funders realize their philanthropic goals.

Public Art, Active Sidewalks, and Streetscape Beautification

We help cities bring more color, creativity, and life to public spaces. This includes murals, live music, sculptures, creative sidewalks, neighborhood flowerbox swaps and beautification projects, and other improvements that make places feel more welcoming and unique.

AI, Data and Workforce Upskilling

We help cities use technology and data in simple, practical ways. We set up easy systems for teams who are new to data collection. For teams who already collect data, we help them share it in clear ways that the public can understand. This includes using AI tools, training staff, improving everyday work processes, and helping teams use information to make better decisions.

Executive Advising and Change Management

We help city leaders during moments of change such as leadership transitions, new councils, major projects, or difficult decisions. We also support teams as they adjust to new ways of working. We provide calm, clear guidance that helps leaders move forward with confidence and focus.

Strategic Planning and Workshop Facilitation

We run simple and focused planning sessions that help teams find direction and agree on next steps. Our approach removes jargon and confusion and replaces it with clarity and a shared plan.

Innovation and Service Delivery Support

We help cities improve everyday services such as housing, homelessness response, transit, neighborhood services, customer service, digital access, and permitting.


We also help teams update older systems and improve daily operations so staff have what they need to do their jobs well.

Areas of Issue Specific Expertise
We also help cities with many everyday challenges, including:
  • Homelessness prevention
  • Composting and sustainability programs
  • Transportation and mobility
  • Public safety and community well being
  • Support for small businesses and local economies
  • The regular daily work that keeps a city running

 

We understand how city teams actually work, and we help move important projects forward with clear communication, simple tools, and practical solutions.
