Independent economic analysis for governments, developers, and businesses in and around Davis and Woodland, built on Yolo County's own data and designed to hold up when a lender or a funder reviews it.
Yolo County's economy is built on agriculture and food, with some of the most productive farmland in California feeding a strong processing and agricultural technology sector, and on the University of California, Davis, which anchors research, employment, and a steady student economy in Davis and Woodland.
A food processing facility, an agricultural technology venture, a university-adjacent development, or a Woodland industrial project all turn on the same questions: what it returns to the county, and whether it holds up under a lender's or a funder's review.
We answer two questions with evidence. Economic impact: what a project brings to Yolo County, in jobs, output, and tax revenue, with local leakage handled honestly. Feasibility and viability: whether it should move forward, measured with the same finance a lender runs, including debt-service coverage against the standard floor. We also handle fiscal impact for public budgets and grant applications, and market and cost-benefit analysis for a decision to open, expand, build, or buy.
And if a study is already in hand, we audit it. We inventory every claim, attach the evidence, and tell you plainly what survives review before you quote it or fund against it. More on reading a study before you rely on it.
National firms fly in, bill the travel, and price a county like Yolo County out of the analysis it needs. We work across the interior West, we can be on-site, and we understand these economies from the inside. Every study is built on the region's measured record from the federal statistical agencies, so the numbers trace to a public source and survive scrutiny.
