Fiscal impact · Mixed-use development

What does a mixed-use development really return to a community?

Before a single approval, LOCI® — Mixed Use projects the net fiscal impact of a proposed development on a Georgia local government — weighing the new property, sales, and other revenues against the true, community-specific cost of serving it, year by year.

A fiscal-impact study only earns its trust when the numbers are honest. LOCI® — Mixed Use uses the jurisdiction's own tax digest and its adopted budget, tracing every revenue and every cost of service back to a real figure — so the net-impact number you hand a commissioner or council member is one you can defend.

What it does

From a project program to a defensible net-impact number

A complete fiscal-impact workflow for local governments — from the development program to a client-ready report.

01

Choose the community

Select the county or city. LOCI® pulls in the community-specific data that drives the model — population, households, the tax digest, and the local government's own budget.

02

Define the development program

Enter the mix — residential units, retail, office, and other uses — along with values, absorption, and phasing over the analysis horizon.

03

Project the new revenues

The engine estimates the property, sales, and other revenues the development generates for the jurisdiction, built on real millage rates, digest values, and local commuting and spending patterns.

04

Weigh the true cost of service

Against those revenues it sets the marginal cost of serving the new residents and activity — public safety, general government, and the other services the budget actually funds.

05

See the net impact — and share it

Get the net fiscal impact and its present value, year by year, with a clear headline number and a report you can hand a commissioner or council member.

Under the hood

Built on the jurisdiction's own numbers

No black box. Every result traces back to a real budget line and a real assessed value — so you can defend any figure you put in front of a board.

01 / Foundation

The budget and the digest

Built from the community's own adopted budget and tax digest — the actual revenues collected and services funded, not national averages or borrowed benchmarks.

02 / Method

Marginal cost, server-side

Revenues and the cost of service are computed by a calculation engine that runs on the server, so the proprietary LOCI® model logic never reaches the browser.

03 / Transparency

Every figure is traceable

Open any result and follow it back through the calculation to the inputs behind it. Nothing is hidden, and every assumption is yours to set.
