Qualifications

Joanne Brion has more than twenty years of professional consulting and research experience in urban economics, real estate feasibility and development, and environmental review. She has managed more than 100 studies involving growth, development, and fiscal/financial issues in a local public policy context. Her areas of expertise include:

• fiscal impact and cost/benefit analysis
• development impact fees and supporting nexus studies
• case studies and impact assessments
• public financing plans
• child care planning, policy and public finance

Brion & Associates often teams with other consultants to provide our clients with tailored services for their particular project or study. Our Collaborations page lists some of the consultants and attorneys we work with on a regular basis. Ms. Brion has extensive experience managing technical staff and teams of subconsultants to produce concise reports based on sound technical analysis. She is skilled at presenting complex technical information to city councils, and other public bodies. One of her main strengths is untangling apparently intractable problems—taking apart complex issues piece by piece, carefully assessing the capacities and constraints of each participant, and skillfully mediating diverse views and issues to defuse conflict and create a win-win solution.
