Spearheaded by Paul Bohn, a
partner with the firm Fausone Bohn, LLP, the
Winchester Consulting Group
brings together Paul’s legal expertise with Lisa Nocerini’s extensive
experience as a lobbyist and Stephanie Moran’s journalism background to create
a dynamic group. The various talents brought to the table provide an attractive
alternative to municipalities strapped by the economic downturn that has left
staff members doing the work of two or three people. From grant writing to
public relations, economic development to communications expertise, the broad
spectrum of services the group provides has helped to offset the loss of public
employees that some towns can no longer afford.
The firm has recently done grant
writing work for the cities of
Westland
and
Wayne: as a result of Winchester’s
help, the cities received a $791,000 grant to help ensure the successful merger
of the cities’ fire departments. Impressed with the result, the City of Wayne
has already hired Winchester to help them to secure outside grants to help
offset budget cuts.

City manager Robert English notes that
Winchester’s “proven track record” is
increasingly attractive: with their expertise and established contacts, the
group will undoubtedly be an asset to the city of Wayne.
“We love doing this. It is
fulfilling to us,” says Lisa. “Sure it is a challenge, but when you are
successful, you can really see the difference you make for these
communities.”
