Fiscal Analysis
We provide communities with clear, data-driven insights into the economic impacts of different development strategies. By analyzing potential revenues and costs associated with land use changes, we help municipalities optimize resource allocation, enhance public services, and ensure long-term fiscal stability. Our fiscal analysis empowers decision-makers to pursue growth that is not just sustainable but also financially responsible—aligning land use, infrastructure, and economic development decisions with broader community goals.
Land Use Fiscal Analysis (LUFA)
Know where your city stands—then build a stronger future. Our Land Use Fiscal Analysis goes beyond simple property values to quantify the true financial productivity of your community’s development patterns. By mapping revenue generation against service costs at the parcel level, we identify which types of growth strengthen your fiscal health—and which ones create long-term deficits. More than just data, we provide clear, customized insights that align development, infrastructure, and economic strategies with long-term financial sustainability. Our approach is tailored to the data your community has available, ensuring that the analysis—and the recommendations—are relevant, actionable, and specific to your needs.
Multi-Year Budgeting
Short-term budgets can hide long-term liabilities. Our Multi-Year Budgeting process helps cities plan beyond the typical 3-5 year window, looking 10-40 years ahead to anticipate major infrastructure, parks, and facility costs before they become financial crises. By facilitating cross-department discussions, we help communities proactively align future expenses with sustainable revenue strategies. With expertise in planning, engineering, and fiscal sustainability, we connect development patterns to long-term service and infrastructure costs—ensuring your city is financially prepared for the road ahead.
Impact Fee Analysis
Growth should pay its way. We help cities calculate development fees that ensure new growth contributes its fair share to infrastructure and long-term maintenance—without overburdening taxpayers. Our approach goes beyond simply matching surrounding cities’ rates; we provide a defensible, data-driven assessment tailored to your infrastructure system and future service needs. With Verdunity, you get an honest evaluation and actionable recommendations that align fees with actual community costs, ensuring financial sustainability for years to come.
Development Fiscal Impact Analysis (DFIA)
Will this project pay off—or cost your city more in the long run? Our Development Fiscal Impact Analysis evaluates the revenues, costs, and fiscal impact of proposed developments to ensure they align with your community’s financial goals. Unlike standard pro formas that focus on upfront costs, we incorporate full life-cycle infrastructure expenses and future service costs, providing a clearer picture of a project’s true return on investment. When paired with a Land Use Fiscal Analysis, we provide the customized financial metrics your city needs to chart a more fiscally sustainable future.
Capital Improvement Planning (CIP)
Every dollar spent should be an investment in your city’s future. Our Capital Improvement Planning process goes beyond routine project prioritization—we take a resource-conscious approach to ensure infrastructure investments close fiscal gaps rather than perpetuate them. By evaluating projects based on age, condition, and function alongside their long-term impact on property values, service costs, and neighborhood vitality, we help cities allocate funds where they’ll deliver the greatest return. Whether you’re maintaining essential infrastructure or transitioning auto-centric areas to walkable, mixed-use districts, we create a strategic portfolio of projects that balances urgent needs with future fiscal sustainability.
