SCP Tribal Consultants has published its 2024 Tribal Enterprises Report, which tracks tribal enterprises, investments, and programs in U.S. Indian Country. Our tribal enterprise tracking supports our work with tribal nations for economic development and specific project planning and implementation. Over the past decade, the global changes to supply chain, national energy imperatives, and reshoring of key industries, has created a myriad of new opportunities for economic development among U.S. tribal nations.

Tribal enterprises tracked in our report range from tribal casinos and c-store / truck stop travel centers, adventure recreation, and other hospitality properties, to commercial businesses, construction companies, and Tribal SBA 8(a) investments. Tribal investments beyond casinos and c-stores (and truck stops) include destination golf courses, agricultural operations, cannabis growing and retail facilities, and many other asset classes. Tribal Enterprises also include facilities and programs operated for community benefit including health care venues, tribal housing, senior housing, and industrial real estate.

A digital version of our 2024 Tribal Enterprises Report is available upon request through our Contact form. Some tracking lists from the annual report an be viewed on the Research page of this website.

Our research unit also maintains a database of U.S. government grant and other funding programs for Indian County, applicable to tribes and tribal enterprises. We have started to post updates to these grant programs to this website as we become aware of changes or new opportunities.

Our Tribal Enterprises Report limits its tracked enterprises and investments to those disclosed by tribes and pueblos in their websites, local news reports, and 3rd-party websites and media, as well as our own field visits. We also review Indian Country-focused websites maintained by the Department of Interior and other government agencies.

Project Feasibility for Golf Community

18.08.2018 Land Development Consultants, Project Consultants for Tribes and First, Residential Housing & Apartments

Al-Shehail Group (Riyadh) / Hopkins Development | As land development consultants we provided a project feasibility for a golf community, with market study, capital budget estimate, and financial projections. Residential product recommendations for the single-family and attached housing units in the development were provided, along with facilities suggestions for a community clubhouse that could support golf as well as additional outdoor recreation offerings.

The project had the working name, Mountain Meadows Golf Community, of McGaheysville, Virginia. McGaheysville is situated near the south fork of Shenandoah River in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley.

This due diligence and feasibility evaluation was to support the Al-Shehail Group of Companies’ potential investment. The site for this to-be-built master-planned residential golf community is situated in rolling meadow lands and foothills near McGaheysville, near Massanutten Ski Resort. The 300-acre project included 420 units in this master-planned golf community.

Following the due diligence effort, StoneCreek Partners was retained by the Al-Shehail Group to revamp and fine-tune the project master plan. Objectives included maximization of the housing along 16,900 lineal feet of golf course frontage. Project naming and naming conventions were also reworked, and golf signature holes were configured to minimize and balance on-site grading. An interesting aspect of the residential product placement on the site, was providing both a direct view onto golf as well as onto the scenic “long views” onto surrounding Shenandoah Valley foothills and mountains.

The master planning work was directly based on the project feasibility for golf community, previously prepared.

Real Estate Advisory Services - master land use planning consultants

Land Development Consultants for Resort

23.02.2018 Land Development Consultants, Real Estate Advisory Services -

Land development consultants for resort planned for the Big Island of Hawaii. Our consulting work for North Kohala Ranch included a market evaluation, the project feasibility analysis, built product concepts, conceptual master planning, and initial entitlements strategy.

The big idea for the project was a master-planned resort with substantial wellness facilities, golf, and extensive outdoor recreation activities. Recommendations included a 240-room main resort along with residential development overlooking Māhukona Harbor. The harbor is actually an abandoned commercial harbor used by the Kohala Sugar Company.

For this work we acted as land development consultants for for this resort was on behalf of Chalon International of Hawaii. In December 1988, Chalon International of Hawaii (Chalon Hawaii) had been established as a subsidiary of Chalon Corporation, a Japanese company.

This former commercial harbor for Kohala Sugar Company was part of an extensive sugar cane farming and production operation.

The North Kohala district is the portion of the Big Island (a/k/a Hawaii County) at its extreme north tip, the region where Kamehameha the Great was born. This part of the Big Island is known for its scenic valleys, its ranching culture and the Paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys), and extensive role in Hawaiian history. During the initial environmental review of the landholding, more than 11,000 archaeological and historic sites were identified. Our work as land development consultants for resort concepting and development included consideration of such sensitive cultural and historical sites of the indigenous Hawaiians.

The scenic valleys created by Kohala volcano were extensively cultivated in ancient times, where the valleys were terraced for farming with ditch irrigation systems that brought water from mountain streams to crops such as taro, sweet potatoes, and bananas.

Chalon Hawaii (later renamed Surety Kohala) was formed to acquire, own and develop the vacant land of Kohala Land, which at the time consisted of about 19,384 acres. The majority of Kohala Land’s property was zoned at the time, for agriculture. Kohala Land property had been used for sugar cane production for a century or more until 1975 when the primary facility (Kohala Sugar Company) was closed. After the cessation of sugar cane operations there were no major activities on the land, which was left vacant.
