RCG ECONOMICS IS AT THE FOREFRONT

REGIONAL ECONOMIC RESEARCH

Is based upon urban and regional modeling and economic/demographic projections. RCG Economics (www.rcgecon.com) is a leader in regional/urban modeling.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Includes economic-base analyses, industry studies, economic development planning, and information services for economic development implementation. We maintain a census of all major employers and monitor national/international trends in those industries for a variety of metropolitan areas.

RCG Economics maintains extensive real estate and economic databases which, when combined with our real estate supply-side information, gives us the information-based edge for economic development planning. RCG Economics’ professionals have completed a variety of economic-base analyses and economic development plans at the state, county and municipal levels. Our economic development implementation services include the application of demographic, economic and real estate supply information to a variety of economic development problems, including industry targeting, advertising and marketing strategies.

RCG Economics has completed a number of public sector planning projects.
