Good Morning, Mr. Bradbury,
Please find attached the records that are responsive to your request. We do not have a specific document that addresses the names and affiliations of the authors; however, I can provide that information in this email.
The Economic Impact reports run in-house (Economic Impact- Rivian $21M; Economic Impact – Rivian $111M), are created by a fiscal impact analysis of the discretionary grants alone. The method used was created by the Georgia Tech Center for Economic Development Research; however the individual analyses are prepared by our in-house research team.
The IMPLAN Analysis was created by Georgia Power Community and Economic Development research team, and was created at the request of the community. I would like to note that the model produces the results of these 7500 jobs and investment as that dollar multiplies to other industries and local impact. Communities like to use this to show how this industry could produce additional impact and what industries those are.
IMPLAN is not a fiscal impact model that factors in negative infrastructure burden so this analysis is not used for incentives evaluation by communities. Usually, LOCI or some other fiscal impact model is used which creates very different results.
Because this request took less than 15 minutes to fulfill, there will be no charge.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
