Donna Williams, Granger Advisors, LLC.

Granger Advisors, LLC is a business and economic development firm specializing in sales, marketing and strategic planning. The firm has worked with large companies, not-for-profit organizations, municipalities, small businesses and budding entrepreneurs. Its owner, Donna Williams returned to her native Chattanooga in 2000 for personal reasons. 

The move has allowed her to share time with family and freinds, and she appreciates Chattanooga's proximity to larger regional markets.

Though her clients are located throughout the U.S., technology enables Williams to operate her business from her home office. She has been pleasantly surprised by the number of clients she has locally. She attributes much of that to the fact that Chattanooga has a very aggressive growth plan, especially in the more urban, in-town areas.

Williams is leading a market development effort in the revitalization of in-town neighborhoods, with specific emphasis on the historic ML King Neighborhood. To that end, she recently co-developed and conducted a series of focus group sessions that will help advance the the redevelopment of the neighborhood.
