CivMetrics

Hand-curated national database of US state and local economic-development deals: each record pairs an investing/awarding agency with a named recipient company, location, deal type (investment, job creation, grant, tax credit), date, narrative description, committed capital and jobs figures. Sibling libraries extend the same record model to TIF packages, NMTC and federal Historic Tax Credit awards, state/local tax-credit abatements, infrastructure deals, P3s, stadiums/arenas, airports, ports, transit, water, healthcare facilities, plus parallel RFP libraries (economic development, civic finance/bond counsel, infrastructure) and metro-level Census ACS indicator sets.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular browsable/filterable deal records (agency, recipient, location, deal type, date, dollar and jobs values) with a narrative text field, backed by retained source documents; the wider library adds CSV/spreadsheet-style metro data tables and PDF source documents. No public API or bulk-export endpoint is advertised.
Volume: Est. low tens of thousands of curated deal and RFP records across the full library (inferred: one deals database plus at least ten sibling incentive/infrastructure databases and three RFP libraries, curated by a one-person editorial operation over roughly a decade — realistically thousands of hand-entered records per database, not millions). Distinct from the underlying source corpus: every record retains a state/local agency publication or press release behind it.
Users: ~200-2,000 registered readers/seats (inferred: site runs a Login/Register pair plus a newsletter signup as its only access gates, i.e. a reader-subscriber franchise rather than priced seats; several databases are explicitly offered 'at no cost' on contact, so registration is a marketing capture, not a paywall)
History: 10 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active but flat — the site is being maintained and updated (homepage carries a March 2026 edition and the podcast has 2025 episodes) and the deals database carries records back through at least 2022, but the property is a single-editor operation with no apparent headcount growth, no pricing page, and databases distributed free of charge, so content grows incrementally rather than compounding.
Launched: ~2017-2019 (est.: the site has a multi-year metro-data article archive and an established newsletter franchise, and its branding was refreshed in February 2024 per the logo asset path, so the property predates 2024 by several years; no founding date is printed)
