The package
What you receive
A portfolio your team can act on and a package your board can approve.
- What is this land worth under active management?
- Where does the money come from?
- Who actually does the work?
- How do we prove it worked?
Opportunity map
Every candidate parcel in your jurisdiction, assembled from public records and rendered before you commit to anything.
Ranked portfolio
Sites ordered by activation potential, with the scoring shown so your team can defend the order.
Site action cards
One card per priority site: recommended action, sequencing, cost range, and the labor path to deliver it.
Funding narrative
Matched programs and windows with the framing language your grant writer can lift directly.
Executive briefing pack
A board- and council-ready package: the ask, the evidence, and the decision in front of them.
Live workspace
The portfolio stays live after delivery. The PDF is an export, not the product.

The sequence
How it works
From first look to delivered portfolio to ongoing management. Every procurement step happens in the platform, so nothing stalls waiting on a scanned signature or a forwarded attachment.
First look
See your community mapped
Enter your jurisdiction and we render candidate parcels from public records. No form, no login, no data prep.
Scoping
Scope to your own budget and purchasing path
You tell us your procurement route and ceiling. We propose the largest bundle that fits inside it — never one that forces a solicitation you did not plan for.
Approval
Route it to everyone who has to say yes
List every reviewer, signer, committee, and vote. Each participant gets their own link, and your champion watches the package move in real time.
Signature & PO
Sign and encumber without leaving the platform
In-platform signature with a full audit trail, vendor packet, insurance and registration checklist, and purchase order captured against the engagement.
Delivery
Kickoff with whatever you have — or nothing at all
Shapefile, spreadsheet, address list, or public records only. The portfolio, action cards, and briefing are delivered on a fixed schedule.
Ongoing
Keep the portfolio live
Re-scoring, grant calendar, and an evidence log that carries into the next plan cycle and the next budget request.
Built for your role
Same engine, scoped to how your organization buys and decides.
Anchor Communities
Departments with a dedicated director, a capital planning cycle, and authority to procure professional services directly.
A full Land Activation Sprint, an executive briefing built for your board or council, and an annual portfolio workspace once the plan is adopted.
Regional Conveners
Regional planning commissions, councils of government, economic development districts, and watershed or conservancy districts serving multiple member jurisdictions.
A multi-jurisdiction Sprint packaged for a grant or task-order line, with member-town results delivered separately so each community can act on its own.
Corridor Partners
Trade, export, and inward-investment officials who route opportunity sets to the communities they serve.
Regional opportunity briefings you can hand to a community or a prospect, with referral tracking so your office sees what it generated.
Heritage Communities
Volunteer-led and lean-staff jurisdictions where the board votes on purchases and there is no ongoing software line.
Parcel Pulse — a bounded, self-serve diagnostic with a fixed parcel count and a single summary brief. Real value, plainly priced, no commitment beyond it.
Not a public agency? These sides of LandConnect are fully open.
Evidence, in public
We publish the analysis, the coverage, and the forecasts before asking anyone for a purchase order. Engagement case studies are added here as delivered work becomes publishable with each agency's consent.
Published research
FieldNotes publishes long-form, citable work on land value, workforce, and public finance — the analysis behind the model, written for people who have to defend a decision.

The Silage tracks federal and state land, conservation, and workforce activity continuously, including open comment windows and funding cycles.

Public opportunity forecasts are already generated for communities nationwide. Look up yours and see what the model returns before you talk to anyone.
Find your communityFit and investment
We do not guess your budget. During scoping you declare your purchasing path and ceiling, and the platform proposes the largest bundle that fits inside it. Anything above your informal-purchase threshold automatically switches to a formal solicitation track with a bid-response kit attached — instead of stalling.
