Fiscal and policy analysis models are beginning to be used more frequently by local governments in an effort to insure that decisions about growth and service delivery are ones that can meet the test of fiscal responsibility. Our poster will describe the development of a GIS-based fiscal and policy analysis model and application for a U.S. city that has adopted a set of annexation policies to guide further growth through the incorporation of nearby properties. The model and application were designed so as to allow municipal managers and elected officials to understand the degree to which specific annexation proposals would be fiscally viable and would follow the policy guidelines for appropriate annexation that were adopted by the city.
