Growth Management Planning

[Back To Top]
  • Thorough and ongoing study and analysis will help us effectively plan for growth.
  • One Knox and the Lincoln Trail Area Development District have undertaken a series of studies.
  • Using input from the studies, we have compiled a comprehensive listing of budget requirements for schools, job training, infrastructure, health care and transportation needs.

Completed Studies

Labor Study

  • Identified gaps in regional workforce (1400 potential high-skilled/high-wage job openings)
  • Is being used to develop strategies for addressing economic and workforce supply and demand issues resulting from the BRAC.
  • See slide show of final findings (Download PDF File)

Regional Economic Impact Analysis

  • Developed projections of how the newly created job opportunities including wages and benefits will impact the regional economy:
    • Wages - more than $302 million in new payroll from new direct jobs, construction activities and spinoff jobs
    • It is estimated that for every two jobs new on post, one will be created off post
    • A sustained 40% increase in state and local tax revenues
    • From 2007-2012, the total projected state tax revenue generated from Ft. Knox operations will exceed $385 million. This represents an increase of more than $96 million in new state tax revenue.
    • The projected annual increase in state tax revenue is expected to be approximately $25 million

  • See slide show of final findings (Download PDF file)

Housing Market Analysis

  • Assessed the kinds of new housing that will be needed to support expected growth
  • Single-family housing stock in the region should be sufficient to meet the demands of relocating personnel and new home buyers to the region
  • Region will need to accommodate 800-1000 new renters by 2012
