212: How Incentives Really Influence Site Selection with Taylor Stepp
In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson talks with Taylor Stepp, Founder and President of Strategic Development Partners, about the real role incentives play in economic development deals.
Drawing on experience working with corporations and communities across the country, Taylor explains how incentives influence project internal rate of return, why applicability and customization matter more than flashy packages, and how responsiveness and speed from local governments can win projects even when incentive dollars are smaller.
The conversation also explores how communities can structure clearer processes, communicate timelines, and position themselves to compete more effectively for major investment.
