Angelou States Lincoln is Attractive to Site Selectors

Angelos Angelou, the founder of AngelouEconomics, answered questions on the current state of site selection for Forbes.com.  In one of the questions where he was asked what metro areas are site selectors finding attractive, he mentioned Lincoln as one of the top metro areas.  The other metro areas were Albuquerque, Austin, Colorado Springs, Nashville, Phoenix and Atlanta.

Angelou Economics was hired by the city a few years back to provide input towards the city's economic development efforts.  I think he has given some valuable information to the city on how to develop a solid economic development plan to attract new businesses to the area.

Impact Fees To Be Reviewed by Mayor in Coming Months

Impact Fees will gain attention by the mayor and city council in the months following the May 11th arena vote. The mayor’s office has commented that they would like to make some changes to the current ordinance that they believe will make it easier to use the money collected. Among the possible changes are revising the current seven (7) impact fee districts to four (4) and removing a provision that requires the city to pay back any unused impact fees to the original payer if unused after seven (7) years.  For more information on the current impact fees, click here.
