Ken Spillberg joined RSG in 2008 and has two years of experience with over 37 client projects in redevelopment planning, affordable housing, and municipal finance services throughout California. He has specific expertise in fiscal consultant services for redevelopment agency bond issues, analysis of local and regional economic impacts from development, affordable housing development consulting services, public agency property tax revenue projections, sustainable building practices consistent with LEED principles, analysis of the fiscal impacts of different land uses, and redevelopment project area adoptions and amendments. Additionally, he has experience with using new technologies to adapt and improve blight determination and mitigation.

In 2009, Mr. Spillberg developed a model that linked the economic impacts of new construction to the need for affordable housing, using data provided by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group. Along with a group of other housing specialists at RSG, he was able to substantiate the basis for inclusionary housing ordinances which required that new housing developments include certain amounts of affordable housing or pay in-lieu fees.

Mr. Spillberg also assisted in creating an electronic field survey system in 2008. This system allows surveyors to use advanced technologies such as touch-screen laptops, GIS software, and GPS tracking to efficiently locate and thoroughly document existing physical conditions. The system also allows analysts to be able to more easily associate other physical and economic conditions to that which was observed in the field.

Mr. Spillberg truly believes in the power of economic development and is excited at the opportunity to assist in creating healthy and sustainable communities through redevelopment. Moreover, he enjoys helping governments create better communities for the people they serve.
