This task will be led by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and involves creating a tool for the Town to better understand the fiscal impacts of current and future development. The work begins with the acquisition, cleanup, and organization of key datasets, including property tax rolls, parcel geodata, retail sales tax revenue, infrastructure information, and land use data.
Using this data, the team will develop a mapped model that illustrates the revenue and cost footprint of each parcel in Hayden, enabling the Town to evaluate the return on investment (ROI) for different development types and scenarios. An Excel-based financial impact calculator will be created to allow the Town to assess future projects. Deliverables will include all associated data, maps, and infographics, along with a full methodology and analysis report and guidance on how to update the model variables over time to keep the tool useful and accurate.
