Taylor, Texas commissioned Lionheart Places and Verdunity for a new Comprehensive Plan, emphasizing fiscally sustainable growth. Verdunity conducted a Land Use Fiscal Analysis to understand current development patterns, educated city leaders and residents on fiscal impacts of different growth patterns, and assessed fiscal outcomes of proposed growth scenarios.

Lionheart proposed two scenarios; the first accepted auto-centric development on the city's outskirts, reflecting recent development trends; the second pushed for more infill growth in Taylor's existing service area, maximizing fiscal efficiency with minimal new infrastructure. Verdunity's models demonstrated that the infill approach not only bolstered the city's fiscal health but also aligned with community priorities. They highlighted the financial burden of extensive infrastructure under the auto-centric scenario, indicating higher taxes and fees unless the pattern changed.

In contrast, the second scenario showed benefits like diverse housing, downtown preservation, and enhanced walkability, leading to overall fiscal improvement. Over 80% of residents, influenced by our workshops and modeling, voted for the infill-focused growth.
