The Local Fiscal Impact Model (LFIM), developed by Dr. Oden, was used
to evaluate the fiscal impacts of three distinct development scenarios.
The modeled scenarios were linked to the Envision Tomorrow planning
software, also used in the Sustainable Land Use Planning course. Student
analysis and reports will enable the City of Leander to better determine
specific costs and benefits associated with development patterns.
