Let our experienced, professional economists prepare economic and fiscal impact reports to evaluate your business or local economic development projects. Our reports are affordable, comprehensive and provide an independent, third-party review of your project.
The report will be completely customized for the community and will estimate the economic and fiscal impact resulting from a new or expanding project in the area. In addition, we can analyze incentives that may be considered for the project. We commonly evaluate property tax abatement, sales tax rebates, tax increment financing districts and cash incentives. To learn more about how we combine economic impacts, fiscal impacts and incentive analysis, visit Impact DataSource Puts It All Together.
