Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 April 2015
Extract
Rapidly rising public sector costs are at issue in a great many communities. Quite often blame has been placed on recent development. This has caused communities to become wary of growth that might result in costs greater than benefits received.
A model is described in this paper that permits ex ante evaluation of the economic effects of community growth. The paper begins with a brief discussion of community growth and previous impact modeling efforts. The Economic Growth Impact Model is then presented. This is followed by a description of the package within which the model is incorporated. Finally, an application of the model is highlighted.
