Public Policy Analysis

Public policy decisions can impact a community's largest corporations and its youngest citizens. They create the rules by which our society functions; and, like our economy, they are constantly evolving. Everyday governments make choices regarding how and where development will take place; where roads, parks, and police stations will be built; or how social programs will be funded. Elected officials, staff and management are forced to pool limited resources to evaluate the merit of difficult options - with the potential to impact millions.

Our team provides analytical support for these agencies through:

• Benefit-cost analysis
• Program feasibility
• Economic impact analysis
• Fiscal impact analysis
• Social impact analysis
• System analysis
• Socio-economic projections
• Analytical data provision
• Development absorption analysis
• Legislative history analysis

Public policy impacts are rarely limited to the monetary outcome on their surface. Rather, the economic and social impacts of a decision can often create the more substantial policy implication. We attempt to take a more holistic approach to public policy analysis hoping to create a clearer picture of how the agency, policy, or other change will impact our client and our community.
