RPRG documents the economic, fiscal and social impacts of community development projects and public initiatives for developers, lenders, and government agencies. Charter schools, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and entertainment venues are among the different types of projects that we have analyzed.

To meet the needs of clients involved in the New Markets Tax Credits program, RPRG developed a Community Impact Analysis product for evaluating NMTC projects. In addition to estimating job and income growth resulting from a NMTC project, RPRG measures a project’s impact on local government revenue and expenditures, employment and wage for low-income individuals in surrounding neighborhoods, and sustainability.

RPRG can study community impacts from a variety of vantage points:

  • assessing the community impact of a proposed change
        in public policy,
  • determining the impact of a portfolio or pipeline for
        a CDFI application,
  • measuring how a project meets the business goals of
        a CDE, or
  • tracking the progress of a completed project
        post construction. 

RPRG also conducts Fiscal Impact Assessments measuring public revenue generated (or expected to be generated) and public expenditures incurred (or expected to be incurred) as a result of a specific development project. This is a useful tool for developers to measure the impact of their project on state and local governments entities as they seek tax increment or special taxing district financing.
