Restrepo Consulting Group LLC (RCG)
RCG’s mission
is to provide the highest quality public policy research
and analysis to its clients' complete satisfaction as efficiently
and timely as possible.
RCG provides a wide variety of services to both public
and private sector entities. The foundation of the practice
is the use of sound economic principles to understand and
help solve public policy problems for our clients. Much of
the work involves analysis of the forces causing economic
and demographic changes within a region or urban area.
Credible public policy research built on solid information,
sound analysis and reported in an effective manner can
be more powerful than the rigid political language. Any organization
with an interest in creating public policy must have well-researched
public policy goals, based on detailed research. However,
the internal resources required to develop such research
and analysis it is not always possible or desirable for
many small organizations or those with periodic, specialized
interests.
RCG's tradition of problem-solving continues in our
public policy research work. RCG conducts research and
provides analysis to address the challenges facing Nevada.
RCG focuses on several areas of research, which reflect
the changing nature of the state. Much of this research
is conducted on behalf of public and private clients.
All RCG's work -- including white papers, databases
or major reports -- are held to rigorous review procedures.
Such scrupulous standards are the foundation of RCG’s
strong reputation in Nevada.
Sometimes clients request that RCG provide research without
indicating a specific course of action. At other times, RCG
will provide a range of solutions, including the advantages
and disadvantages of each. On certain occasions, RCG will
develop succinct policy recommendations. What remains unwavering
is RCG's commitment to objective and independent research.
This is accomplished in a variety of ways, including press
releases to the media, testimony by RCG’s experts and
reports.
