“I was very impressed with the demonstration of CGR’s Cost/Benefit Analysis specifically designed for Industrial Development Agencies. It’s easy to use, affordable and offers economic development professionals an effective tool to measure potential projects”
— William Mannix, Administrative Director, Town of Islip IDA
“Now is the time for economic development agencies to consider using a cost benefit analysis model. Resources are scarcer than ever and must be used carefully to create the highest level of private sector investment and quality jobs. Plus, a thoughtful cost benefit analysis will naturally generate a broader range of support for a project from community stakeholders”
— Michael Stamm, President, Tompkins County Area Development
“The Center for Governmental Research’s cost benefit model is a simple to use, easily accessible, and an affordable option for IDAs to increase accountability and employ a critical best practice… best of all, the data sets and updates are all included”
