Financial Analysis

Key Financial Indicators

Financial success is a driving factor for revitalization. It is critical for stakeholders to complete a thorough analysis of financial indicators associated with the project and the property to maximize the potential for success. Key financial indicators that should be considered include:
  • Total Return on Investment
  • Costs associated with assessment of the property
  • The cost of any required environmental cleanup
  • The economic status of the surrounding community
  • Costs associated with acquisition of the property
  • Rates associated with capital investment requirements
  • Available grant and low-interest loan funding
  • Innovative funding mechanisms
  • Potential third party claims or liens against the property
The more detailed the understanding of the financial commitment required to make the project a success, the greater the potential for sustained revitalization.
