Willdan served the City of Alameda during the planning and development of Alameda Point, a former
naval air station. Willdan provided advisory services related to land economics, including fiscal
impact analysis, infrastructure financing, and a feasibility analysis to estimate whether
development could sustain the infrastructure needed to rehabilitate the base. To best help the
City move forward, Willdan assisted in developer negotiations and prepared the facilities
financing plan and fiscal impact analyses, which examined general fund revenues (property taxes,
sales taxes, and a variety of general sources) and expenditures (public safety, maintenance, park
services, and other items) that would be generated by the development.
Willdan assisted closely the City and engineering staff to estimate phases of development to
create an analysis of the infrastructure’s financing revenue. The project team also prepared the
analysis that included estimates of developer equity as well as financing sources, such as
assessments and special taxes. To complete the planning, Willdan applied the financing plan to a
feasibility analysis that examined the burden of assessments and special taxes.
