River Islands – Planned Community Fiscal Impact & Feasibility Analysis

For Califia, Brion Economics developed a detailed fiscal impact analysis (FIA) and other feasibility studies for the 15,000 residential unit and 5 million sq. ft. River Islands project located in Lathrop, CA. BEI has worked on the River Islands project since 2007 and continues to provide important fiscal impact analyses (FIA) regarding the City’s ability to fund public services associated with the project. In 2013, our analysis was used to negotiate an amendment to the project Development Agreement and the project Reimbursement Agreement with the City. Also, based on the FIA, special tax assessments were proposed for City services not covered by project annual revenues. BEI works with both River Islands and the City to complete a true-up each year and evaluate the project’s payments to the City to cover operating shortfalls.

"The 2022 Needs Assessment was ambitious" “The 2022 Needs Assessment was ambitious – including parent and workforce surveys, supply and demand analysis at the county and city level, and multiple economic analyses such as articulating a living wage for child care educators – and Brion Economics delivered! Joanne clearly communicated the timeline and budget to keep the project on track. The needs assessment will be invaluable to our community. We would happily work with Joanne and the Brion Economics team again.” ~ Sarah Kinahan, Coordinator, Child Care Partnership Council, San Mateo County Office of Education
