Cuyahoga County Planning Commission. “Community tax revenue that is generated by new retail development is often offset by the local government costs of providing additional infrastructure and public safety services, the softening of revenue from existing businesses, and the costs of environmental mitigation…Communities planning to use retail development as the focus of an economic development strategy would be better served by trying to sustain and/or attract industrial and office-based business.”
