Forensic Economist Don Frankenfeld is an Internet evangelist and consultant. His long-standing interest in historic preservation was reawakened when his firm won a rigorous competition to build a new website for Deadwood, South Dakota, a national historic landmark. Frankenfeld has long been involved in economic and community development. As a state senator in 1978, Frankenfeld authored and ushered to passage one of the nation's first tax increment district codes, a precursor to BID's. Later as a private citizen, he started South Dakota's first bank-chartered Community Development Corporation, enlisting seventeen banks as sponsors. Frankenfeld attended Yale as a National Merit Scholar, and received an MBA from Harvard Business School. In 1987 he returned to Harvard as a Bush Foundation Leadership Fellow, earning a Masters in Public Administration in 1988.
