Calling the local economic committee: Script anyone?

[Kusum Chanrai]

Hi friends, 

So, it's been recommended when looking to buy multi-family in an emerging area to call the Economic Development Committee in that area and ask for their "master plan". I.E. Find out which areas are they most focused on improving, and what their plans are. 

I've called a few, but they respond with "you're calling the wrong department" or "sorry we can't help you". 

1) Does anyone have a script on what one should say. I might be putting people off by using the term "property investor"

2) Does anyone know specifically who you should look to speak to. In terms of their title or specific job description? 

Thank you!
