Abstract:
Rural areas in the U.S. are continuing to change rapidly with continued population and economic growth and restructuring. With this rapid growth come changing land uses and new populations in rural communities pressuring local governments to provide new services. However, sufficient revenues may not be available to support needed or wanted services. Therefore, an important element in the planning process for local government is to monitor the fiscal vitality of a community with respect to the revenues needed and the services required.
