What Am I Working On

Here's my quarterly update on new things I've been working on at work since the last update on August 5 (you can read past posts for my ground rules on these quarterly updates):

* Helping a municipality to figure out its land use, regulatory, and programmatic strategies related to encouraging urban agriculture

* Helping a local film society to decide which theater renovation option will help it clear enough funds to pay off its debt obligations

* Helping a private developer to quantify the local impact, in terms of jobs and tax revenues, of a proposed mixed-use development in a distressed municipality, for the purposes of receiving a federal subsidy

* Helping a local government develop a messaging campaign to inform its citizenry about the economic benefits of a particular economic development tax incentive program

* Providing economic policy counsel to a local legislative body, with particular emphasis on pensions and taxation
