The 2023 Roundtable Wrap-Up. What Are the Important Take-Aways?

The National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) and The Pew Charitable Trusts once again welcomed evaluators from throughout the country to the ninth annual Roundtable on Evaluating Economic Development Tax Incentives, this time at NCSL’s headquarters in Denver.

The 2023 roundtable provided no shortage of informative sources of data and interesting methodological approaches to evaluate incentive programs. It also featured an extensive and robust discussion of how evaluators can approach their work once they begin conducting second-round evaluations.

Below is a recap of some of this year’s highlights. You can find the agenda, materials, and recording of the full event on NCSL’s website.
