Infrastructure Economics & Grants Advisory

Infrastructure economics provides a framework for understanding how individuals, businesses and governments allocate limited resources to meet a community’s diverse needs, while a well-designed grant and funding strategy ensures that resources are effectively allocated to projects and initiatives that drive meaningful economic, environmental and social impact.

STV’s infrastructure economics and grants advisory practice specializes in the economic analysis of the physical infrastructure to provide access and mobility and economic opportunity while delivering social and environmental benefits to communities. Supporting both public and private sector clients and spanning from project development to construction and operation phases, the team’s methods range from historical and empirical research; demographic, geospatial, economic impact, statistical and benefit-cost modeling; theoretical analysis; and sector and regional case studies.  The team also leverages a proprietary grants research and analysis tool to help clients identify upcoming funding opportunities for their future projects and programs. 

The team utilizes its economics expertise to help clients and communities understand and address crucial challenges, such as aging and inadequate infrastructure, technology integration, climate resilience and sustainability and equity and access.  Additionally, STV’s experts promote best practices that support the community, stimulate economic growth, and addresses inequalities by funding essential infrastructure investments.
