Consulting

Our economic analysis is objective and will produce a study you’re proud to share with stakeholders.

Do you need to know the impact of COVID-19 on your region? How about the economic impact and ROI of a potential business relocation or expansion?

Those are tough questions. You probably aren’t an expert on economic impact studies—and you shouldn’t have to be! Our PhD economists, strategic planners, and data experts can provide you with a study that is objective, saves you research time, and helps you tell your region’s story—so you can get back to what you do best.

“My team has had great, fluid communication with the Chmura team. The COVID-19 Impact Study has gotten really great feedback from our Board.”
