The 30-second brief
Prepare a consultant-led economic impact study for the ION Stage 2 expansion from Fairway Station to Downtown Cambridge. Quantify and explain the incremental economic value of extending ION light-rail to Cambridge, including the broader effects on development, housing, business activity, investment attraction, municipal fiscal outcomes, and inclusive growth. Assess the multiplier effect of permanent light-rail transit investment on development value, residential units, affordable housing potential, assessment growth, tax-base growth, employment access, business investment, mode shift, emissions, and household transportation costs. Evaluate benefits at multiple study-area scales and identify how the work could be adjusted, phased, or reduced for budget purposes without compromising the overall analysis. Develop clear outputs suitable for Committee and Council, including a technical report, executive summary, key-indicator dashboard, presentation materials, and a concise public-facing summary.
