Economic Impact Studies

Quantifying the Value of Vision.

At Maverick, we transform investments, capital projects, and community initiatives into clear, measurable economic stories. Our Economic Impact Studies demonstrate how your projects generate jobs, fuel local businesses, expand economic mobility, and strengthen communities—backed by transparent, data-driven analysis.

Whether you're building new facilities, revitalizing existing infrastructure, launching sustainability initiatives, or funding programs that support students and families, we quantify the measurable return on investment in ways that matter to stakeholders, funders, donors, and the public.

Why Economic Impact Studies Matter

Every project—large or small—creates ripples across a community. But most institutions and organizations struggle to capture that value in a compelling, credible way. Maverick’s Economic Impact Studies help you:

  • Demonstrate stewardship of donor and public dollars

  • Strengthen grant applications with defensible economic data

  • Support fundraising and capital campaigns with clear ROI

  • Communicate community value to partners, boards, and stakeholders

  • Showcase local job creation and business utilization

  • Highlight long-term benefits beyond construction or project launch

We give you the numbers and the narrative to show your impact with confidence.

What We Measure

Our studies capture both short-term and long-term economic value.

Short-Term Economic Impact

(From project start to completion)

  • Jobs created (by trade, phase, and residency)

  • Local and regional vendor spending

  • Payroll and taxable income generated

  • Supply chain purchasing and induced economic activity

  • Sales and business tax contributions

  • Impact on local businesses during construction

Long-Term Economic Impact

(From completion through 10+ years)

  • Permanent staffing and operational spending

  • Local service contracts and ongoing vendor activity

  • Energy efficiency and sustainability savings

  • Student, employee, and visitor spending

  • Facility usage and economic mobility outcomes

  • Institutional growth, retention, and revenue effects

  • Lifetime earnings impact for program or beneficiaries

We combine financial, demographic, and operational data to create a comprehensive picture of how your project strengthens the community.

Our Methodology

Maverick uses a transparent, research-based approach grounded in industry-standard tools and multipliers, including IMPLAN, BEA RIMS II, or internal modeling frameworks. All inputs, assumptions, and formulas are clearly documented, giving you:

  • Expert-level rigor

No “black box” modeling — you see exactly how every conclusion is reached.
