Peer Review

In these times of accelerating fiscal costs and limited municipal revenues, cities must exercise due diligence in the review and evaluation of planning and economic impact studies. A growing number of cities are requiring peer reviews of all economic and fiscal impact studies that are conducted for developers. 

Cambridge Economic Research provides expert peer review services for economic impact, urban planning, and transportation planning studies. We review studies performed by other professional consultants for accuracy and objectivity in assumptions, data collection, and modeling techniques. Based on the results of the peer review process, cities are in a stronger position to negotiate mitigation packages with developers.
