What Am I Working On
now at work. I won't repeat anything from last time that I happen to
still be working on (which unfortunately is a lot - darn these long
and unending projects!), and for confidentiality's sake I have to blur
some of the details for some of these studies).
* Quantifying the economic and fiscal impact of a major financial
services firm relocating most of its jobs to Philadelphia
* Advising a region on the size and composition of its "creative
economy" and on ways to increase its impact
* Calculating the amount of upfront funds that a city could generate
by capturing future property tax increases that result from
infrastructure development
* Making the case to a city and state that connecting high-skilled
immigrants to jobs more suitable to their skills is an essential
workforce development strategy
* Helping a regional economic development entity envision the
commercial impact of extending a main subway line out to a nearby
growth community
* Performing a "strengths / weaknesses / opportunities / threats"
analysis for a major university
* Providing economic and real estate analysis to assist a respected
cultural institution in determining where and how to relocate its
headquarters
* Assisting a community group in lobbying for local infrastructural
improvement while simultaneously addressing resident concerns about
"gentrification"
* Selling a city on the financial benefits of supporting the
construction of public space for X-Games-like activity
