Environmental Impact Statements

Urbanomics provides expert analysis of the socioeconomic, fiscal, and public space impacts of proposed developments as part of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. Our data-driven approach, combined with local insights, helps developers, government agencies, and municipalities navigate regulatory approvals while understanding the broader economic implications of land use decisions.

​

With expertise in economic and demographic forecasting, Urbanomics specializes in assessing development impacts under both current and future conditions using customized regional and local forecasts. We evaluate residential and business displacement, including effects on vulnerable populations, housing affordability, workforce stability, and at-risk industry clusters. Our economic assessments measure the fiscal and employment impacts of proposed actions, analyzing ripple effects on jobs, wages, and local business activity.

​

Our fiscal analyses leverage project-specific models built on industry-standard methodologies, incorporating key assumptions informed by interviews with government service leaders.

​

Urbanomics has extensive experience preparing EIS chapters for mixed-use developments and infrastructure projects in compliance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and the New York City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) technical manual. Our portfolio includes major projects such as the East Midtown Rezoning, Manhattan Public Health Lab, and North Shore BRT in Staten Island, supporting responsible growth and informed decision-making across the New York metropolitan area.
