GFOA's newly formed Committee on Economic Development and Capital Planning is working to identify policies and guidelines for local governments to use in evaluating when and how to invest in economic development projects, including public-private partnerships. The Committee recognizes that many localities are currently investing in economic development projects without necessarily tying these projects into any overall plan. This article presents a case study for investing in economic development, using the City of Virginia Beach as an example of how adopted guidelines can be used by local governments to effectively evaluate development projects.
