Andrew Knudtsen, Managing Principal, Economic & Planning Systems, Inc.
Andrew is a planner and economist with 20 years of experience in the areas of real estate feasibility analysis, market assessment, public-private partnership formation, fiscal impact assessment, and affordable housing strategic planning and development. Andrew has expertise in evaluating project feasibility and has quantified economic viability using pro forma modeling to test a range of factors and assumptions about market conditions and risk tolerance. He has worked with numerous clients to provide data and findings that can be incorporated into their decision making processes, including projects sponsored by public sector entities that entail community involvement. Andrew has developed implementation strategies that leverage investment and externalize costs by incorporating public finance. His work involves a range of funding tools applied to a variety of projects across different states, including tax increment finance, special improvement districts, downtown development authorities, housing authorities, and urban renewal authorities. Affordable housing work spans from regional needs assessments to policy formation and implementation strategies.
