Smarter Decisions.

We help companies with site selection and incentives - and public organizations build strategy, capacity, and impact.

Who We Work With

Companies

We advise companies making high-stakes decisions about where to invest, expand, or relocate—helping leadership teams reduce risk, manage costs, and improve long-term returns.

Typical engagements include:

  • Site selection and location strategy

  • Incentive strategy and negotiation support

  • Financial modeling and decision analysis

  • Board- and executive-ready materials

Economic Development Organizations

We support public-sector organizations facing increasing workloads, limited staff capacity, and more complex economic development challenges.

Typical engagements include:

  • Strategic planning and policy support

  • Financial modeling and fiscal impact analysis

  • Short-term surge or fractional capacity

  • Analysis and presentations for boards and elected officials

Let’s Talk Strategy

What we help you achieve.

Economic development and investment decisions are rarely simple—and the cost of getting them wrong is high.

Impact Economics helps clients:

  • Bring clarity to complex decisions

  • Evaluate tradeoffs with credible analysis

  • Align strategy with financial and political realities

  • Move forward with confidence and defensible rationale

Whether advising a corporate leadership team or a public organization, our focus is the same: clear thinking, disciplined analysis, and practical execution.

Corporate Advisory Services

Site Selection and Incentive Strategy

Location decisions are capital allocation decisions. We help companies evaluate locations not just on real estate or incentives, but on total project cost, long-term operating risk, and strategic fit.

Our corporate advisory services include:

  • Multi-site location analysis

  • Incentive identification and negotiation support

  • Workforce and operating cost analysis

  • Financial modeling and scenario comparison

Our work is designed to support executive decision-making and stand up to internal and external scrutiny.

Public Sector Support

Strategic Insight, Analytical Rigor, and Flexible Capacity

Economic development organizations are being asked to do more with less—while managing projects that are larger, faster-moving, and more politically visible.

Impact Economics partners with public-sector clients to provide:

  • Strategic & Planning Support

  • Capacity & Surge Support

  • Financial & Analytical Services

  • Flexible Engagement Options

We operate as an extension of your team—providing value that complements internal staff and reflects the realities of public decision-making.
