About Us
Empire Economics is an economic and real estate consulting firm with 30 years of experience that provides a broad array of consulting services exclusively for public entities by performing analysis on forthcoming residential and commercial-industrial projects that request municipal financing (typically Community Facility Districts and Assessment Districts), in order to provide public entities with guidance on how expected special tax levels and absorption rates, among other factors, meet their bond financing policies. Furthermore, Empire Economics identifies and discusses potential risk factors associated with a project so that these can be appropriately disclosed to prospective bond purchasers.
