“It has been a great pleasure for the past four years to enjoy working with Marie Jones as a client.  I have referred a number of my colleagues in the world of development and economic development to Ms. Jones and they share my enthusiasm for her work. I am engaged in the development of a complicated mixed-use project in San Francisco comprised of a grocery store, public library, and 15 apartments. Throughout the process of developing the program, negotiating with end users, gaining entitlements, and now selling the entitled project, Marie’s contribution has been invaluable.  It is my hope to work with Marie on future projects for years to come.” --David Prowler, Developer
