Assessing the financial impact of a development project in Uetikon am See

The municipality of Uetikon am See is planning to launch a development project at the site of a former chemicals factory that will include both public and private use of property. Working on behalf of the municipality, we examined the project’s direct and indirect financial impact and worked out a financially sustainable development plan that takes account of both one-time expenses and proceeds (e.g. site purchase price, infrastructure investments, property sales) and follow-up expenses and proceeds (e.g. tax revenue and education-related costs).
