EMSI Analyst
Timely, accurate, and effective reports
EMSI delivers economic reports to regional planners who want expert analysis and detailed, hard-to-find data. Our consultants combine EMSI’s comprehensive labor market data and seasoned economic analysis to produce reports that analyze a broad range of workforce, education, and economic development issues. Unlike other consulting groups, we mine our own data and tailor it to create effective reports that communicate to all audiences. EMSI’s custom economic analysis includes the following major types:
- Impact studies (education, workforce, and industry)
- Targeted industry/cluster analyses
- Workforce/labor market analyses (including competency analyses)
- Econmic Gap analyses
- Asset mapping
Another way to think about the work EMSI does is in terms of the questions we frequently address:
- What is the economic impact of a particular institution or event?
- Which high-growth industries are most likely to promote a region’s economic development?
- What comprises the regional workforce (in terms of the industry mix, number of jobs, etc.)?
- What are the region’s major assets (e.g., population demographics, employment, etc.)?
REPORTS FROM AROUND THE REGION
2022 North Central Region Industrial Park Inventory, Absorption, and Needs Study
In 2022, the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (NCWRPC) researched and inventoried all industrial parks across its 10-county region and determined total, vacant, and developed acreage of each park. These locations and calculations were verified by local staff when possible. NCWRPC also analyzed air photos from 2000, 2010, and 2020 within the boundary of each identified park to determine the rate at which lots were developed to forecast future acreage demand.
This study was funded by the Economic Development Administration’s Recovery Assistance funding under the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) act. The goal of this project is to inventory industrial space and identify future need in the region. A variety of acreage calculations, maps for marketing purposes, and data to support industrial park-related infrastructure grant applications and planning decisions is provided.
North Central Wisconsin Regional Recovery Dashboard
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCWRPC was awarded a grant from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) to assist with the economic recovery of the Region. Part of the scope of work for the grant included the development of a Regional Recovery Plan. The Regional Recovery Plan includes both short-term and long-term strategies intended to guide the Region’s economic stabilization and recovery from current and future economic shocks and to help foster a resilient and sustainable North Central Wisconsin.
As the Region continues to recover from the pandemic and build towards a more prosperous future, local communities and organizations can use the North Central Wisconsin Regional Recovery Dashboard to help track the Region’s progress on issues that were identified in the Regional Recovery Plan as crucial to the prosperity of North Central Wisconsin.
