What to Expect

Live Webinar | Wednesday, March 18th at 2:00 p.m. EST | 30 Minutes

What is required to obtain public funding and political approval for a complex energy project?

Join Andrew Fennell for a case study on how IMPLAN-supported economic impact analysis justified the reopening of Michigan’s Palisades Nuclear Facility, the first attempted restart of a decommissioned nuclear plant in U.S. history. 

In response to environmental opposition and Department of Energy scrutiny, Holtec International commissioned an IMPLAN-based analysis to quantify the jobs, tax revenues, and broader economic contributions associated with reopening the plant.

The analysis supported $400 million in federal funding, $1.5 billion in state investment, and full project approval in December 2025.

In this 30-minute session, you’ll learn:

  • How economic impact analysis strengthens project advocacy
  • How data can counter political and environmental opposition
  • How quantified jobs and tax impacts support funding decisions
Includes a live Q&A.

If you are seeking support for a data center, manufacturing facility, energy project, or other major development, this webinar will demonstrate how credible economic modeling can influence decision-making.

Reserve your spot for March 18th at 2:00 p.m. EST.
