Socioeconomic Baseline and Economic Impact

  • What is the local socioeconomic baseline of the region? 
  • What are the local economic impacts of power system transitions, flood risk mitigations, and changes in snowfall? 

Regional economic impacts of scenarios informed by the energy infrastructure, and geohazard work across the project along with the priorities of the community co-production team will be evaluated. We will use IMPLAN, an economic modeling and data software to evaluate the impacts to employment, production, and tax revenue. These efforts will provide a picture of the localized economic impacts of climate change.
