PIA Industries provides municipalities with the expertise, tools, and partnerships needed to transform underperforming assets into engines of community prosperity.
Our founder, Casey Doody, is the CEO of Portland Investment Advisors, LLC (PIA), a Registered Investment Advisor licensed in the State of Maine. The parcel attribute model was mirrored after the strategy used to manage investment portfolios at PIA.
Through data collection and our proprietary parcel attribute model, we help towns identify hidden assets—location, location, location parcels that are not contributing at their highest potential.
Our direct resources extend to the best of the best in most all activities related to operating a successful municipality. Our supporting members include current and former town managers, selectboard members, architects, and infrastructure specialists.
Our direct resources include vast knowledge of municipal funding tools, including how to utilize varying tools in conjunction with each other to compound a project's expected impact.
When opportunities are identified, PIA Industries works with municipal leaders to develop a roadmap for bringing projects to life. Our relationships with funding sources provide access to capital that streamlines project completion.
We don't just identify problems—we create comprehensive roadmaps for solving them. Our seven-step methodology ensures alignment, community buy-in, and successful execution.

PIA Industries offers tools built to help municipalities identify underperforming Parcels of Land. Anchor Properties and Critical Lots are identified and analyzed to determine their impacts on nearby parcels.
Examination of the town's past and current economic environment identifies challenges that have prevented quicker evolution. This provides clarity around reasonable alternatives, allowing leaders to weigh expected benefits versus costs.
Complete alignment of all municipal leaders on the best path forward creates momentum and directs energy towards producing the outcome. Unity in understanding goals, challenges, and solutions is critical.
Dissemination of information regarding current economic conditions as they relate to the municipality's main revenue source. If analysis is thorough and benefits are clearly understood, the solution will be widely supported.
