Ardmore’s New Plan Forward

In early 2025, Ardmore Initiative enlisted the help of Pelham Advisors to develop a new strategic plan, mean to carry the organization through 2030. This plan is intended to serve as a vital roadmap, directing efforts in the four pillars of the Main Street Model: Design, Organization, Promotion, and Economic Vitality.

What it Includes

This plan includes the following:

• Measurable goals relative to the growth of the District.
• A SWOT analysis, and analysis of demographic data informing the next five-year strategic plan.
• Realistic and measurable goals for Ardmore Initiative with a narrow focus on its vision mission.
• Operational recommendations to realize these goals and to ensure clear roles and responsibilities, collaborative relationships with partners, and optimal board and stakeholder engagement.
• An analysis of peer BIDS and the larger BID sector to pinpoint systemic challenges and to develop organizational resilience around these challenges.
