TECONOMIC IMPACT MODEL

TECONOMIC IMPACT MODEL


 As part of the overall strategy, Angelou Economics conducted an economic impact study. The purpose of this analysis is to provide Osceola County with a preliminary assessment of the value that CW will generate for the County over 50 years – through full build-out of the development. The economic impact study measures the economic contribution of CW to Osceola County. The findings can be interpreted to be the increase to the County’s GDP as a result of CW being established in this particular market. Economic impacts are derived through multipliers that are specific to Osceola County as well as the industries that will be created within CW. However, CW is bringing a new industry base to the County. By way of example, 


CW will bring on-line Osceola County’s first semiconductor facility. With that point in mind, the multipliers will have limited effect in Osceola County, and industry impacts will instead be “leaked” to other areas of the region, the state, or even the country. Yet as Osceola County’s new industry base grows, the chain of suppliers and vendors will grow to accommodate and capitalize on the economies of agglomeration that will be created in CWAs this occurs, Osceola County will capture a larger share of the total economic impact and reduce the levels of “leakage” that will occur in early years of the development.


 To put it another way, over time, the total economic benefit of CW to Osceola County will grow exponentially. Interpreting the Findings The findings are broken down into direct, indirect, and induced impacts, which are defined as follows: 

DIRECT / includes the capital investment, jobs created, and labor incomes paid within CW. 

INDIRECT / encompasses the impact for downstream companies that support or supply CW. 

NDUCED / measures the spending patterns of those with jobs that have benefited from CW Furthermore, the impact figures are expressed in terms of jobs, labor income, and total economic output. This provides a comprehensive view of CW and its ability to create jobs, additional labor income, and additional economic benefit within Osceola County. As a way to provide additional context for the impact figures, the top 5 sectors have been identified. 


All findings are presented as cumulative over the 50-year life of the development. Additionally, all dollar amounts are presented as net present values and represent 2016 dollars. This allows for a quick and easy evaluation of the findings.

TAX REVENUE MODEL

TAX REVENUE MODEL

 

The economic impact model conveys the high-level economic benefit to Osceola County.  In contrast, the tax revenue model is designed to show the detailed tax revenues that can be expected to be generated for the various taxing entities within the County, including:

 • Osceola County General Fund 

• CRA 

• School Board 

• South Florida Water Management Board

 

To provide Osceola County with better direction, the tax revues are considered at three key time intervals: after 10 years, 25 years, and 50 years. This provides a clearer picture of how the tax revenues will grow over time as the development grows, and ultimately reaches full build-out at the 50-year mark. Furthermore, the tax revenues are detailed for commercial uses, industrial uses, and residential uses. For this reason, the tax revenue model considers the same scenario assumptions as the economic impact study, i.e. the office weighted scenario and the industrial weighted scenario. Within the analysis, both real and tangible property tax collections are considered. Similar to the economic impact study, all findings for the tax revenue model are presented as cumulative for each given time period: 10-years, 25-years, or 50-years.

 The tax revenues are net present values and have been discounted to represent 2016 dollars. It is important to note that these projects are based on the development scenarios as currently envisioned. As the different phases of the development come on-line, the actual impact and tax revenues will adjust alongside the “on-the-ground” development fluctuations that occur as part of any large scale development. To accommodate the actual development over time, the economic impact study and tax revenue projections should be updated every couple of years to capture the actual impact, rather than the impact based on pre-development estimates

. TAXABLE VALUE OF PROPERTY AT FULL BUILD-OUT: $1.5 BILLION TO $2.1 BILLION 50-YEAR TOTAL CUMULATIVE TAX REVENUE: $781.2 MILLION TO $831.2 MILLION BKL has the potential to become Osceola County’s largest tax payer based on total taxable value of property. 169
