Balanced analysis for informed decisions.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS
Regional and local economic development agencies evaluating digital infrastructure opportunities need balanced, factual analysis of economic impacts, community benefits, and responsible development considerations. ADIC provides the research and data to support informed decisions.
Overview
WHY THIS MATTERS
Economic development organizations play a critical role in evaluating, attracting, and negotiating digital infrastructure projects. ADIC provides balanced analysis of economic impacts — including construction employment, permanent jobs, tax revenue, infrastructure investment, and community benefits — while acknowledging that actual outcomes vary substantially by project, tax structure, and jurisdiction.
ADIC membership gives economic development organizations access to research, case studies, policy tracking, and industry collaboration. Members can connect with developers, utilities, and other stakeholders through working groups and roundtables.
