Experience
Carson Bise has 20 years of fiscal, economic and planning experience and has conducted fiscal and infrastructure finance evaluations in 25 states. Mr. Bise has developed and implemented more fiscal impact models than any consultant in the country. The applications he has developed have been used for evaluating multiple land use scenarios, specific development projects, annexations, urban service provision, tax-increment financing and concurrency/adequate public facilities monitoring. Mr. Bise is also a leading national figure in the calculation of impact fees, having completed over 150 impact fees for the following categories: parks and recreation, open space, police, fire, schools, water, sewer, roads, municipal power and general government facilities. In his six years as a planner at the local government level, he coordinated capital improvement plans, conducted market analyses and business development strategies, and developed comprehensive plans.
Mr. Bise has also written and lectured extensively on fiscal impact analysis and infrastructure financing. His most recent publications are Fiscal Impact Analysis: Methodologies for Planners, published by the American Planning Association, a chapter on fiscal impact analysis in the book Planning and Urban Design Standards, also published by the American Planning Association, and the ICMA IQ Report, Fiscal Impact Analysis: How Today’s Decisions Affect Tomorrow’s Budgets. Mr. Bise was also the principal author of the fiscal impact analysis component for the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Smart Growth Toolkit and is featured in the recently released AICP CD-ROM Training Package entitled The Economics of Density. Mr. Bise is currently on the Board of Directors of the Growth and Infrastructure Consortium and recently Chaired the American Planning Association’s Paying for Growth Task Force.
