What Am I Working On

As has become my custom every three months, here's what I'm working on now at work. I won't repeat anything from last time that I happen to still be working on, and for confidentiality's sake I have to blur some of the details for some of these studies.

* Determining the magnitude and equitable distribution of economic gain resulting from population growth in a major league city.

* Exploring the landscape for small businesses (with a particular focus on capital access) in a mid-sized city.

* Serving as a local evaluator for a consortium of community-serving organizations that have received a national grant to invest in three neighborhoods in a mid-sized city. 

* Assessing the feasibility of a proposed tourism attraction in a mid-sized city.

* Evaluating the programmatic infrastructure in place to support diverse entrepreneurs in a big city.

* Providing research and outreach support for a campaign to eradicate poverty in a big city. 


* Articulating the contribution of a mixed-use innovation hub to a neighborhood and region. 

* Speaking to the economic, community, and societal impacts of mixed-use innovation-anchored real estate projects for two developers, one on the West Coast and one in the Midwest.

* Writing up two mini-studies for universities on their economic and social impact.
