Every major new project that includes a residential element spurs city residents to ask whether the project's promised tax revenues to the city will be over-balanced by costs, especially for the schooling of the new residents' children. The city government's professional staff' relies on a consulting firm's fiscal impact model to answer such questions, and the Economic Development Authority has asked that firm to explain it all to interested residents.
- The City's Fiscal Impact Model for Analyzing New Development Projects: How does it work? How reliable is it? How should it be used?
- Tuesday September 9, 2008, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
- City Hall Training Room, Ground Floor (enter through Police Center on east wing of City Hall)
