Commissioners approve cost‑of‑community‑services and local fiscal impact study contract
Summary
The board approved contracting Creative Economic Consulting to perform a cost‑of‑community‑services study and a local fiscal impact model (not to exceed $73,090.05) to help the county quantify public‑service impacts of land uses and inform future land‑use decisions.
Johnston County commissioners voted to proceed with a two‑part study — a cost‑of‑community‑services analysis and a local fiscal impact model — using Creative Economic Consulting, at a not‑to‑exceed cost of $73,090.05.
County staff said the project will provide an economic model to inform land‑use and tax‑base decisions and improve local fiscal forecasting; the manager noted the county will be among a limited number of jurisdictions using the study to directly inform upcoming policy choices. The work is expected to provide data that county staff and elected officials can use to evaluate residential versus non‑residential development impacts and guide priorities for job‑producing growth.
Commissioners approved the contract by voice vote and discussed future opportunities to share results with municipalities and regional partners.
Provenance: Manager and consultant recommendation occurred near the 99:20 portion of the transcript and vote was recorded shortly thereafter.
