For municipalities
More revenue per acre. Less burden per resident.
And half the land conserved forever. Two decades of research show walkable, complete neighborhoods generate more tax revenue per acre, impose lower per-capita infrastructure costs, and recover faster from downturns. The constraint on supply is regulatory, and towns that fix it capture the value.
The moment
Growth is coming either way.
The same migration that fills school rolls and tax bases is accelerating farmland conversion and habitat fragmentation. The Hudson Valley cannot absorb conventional sprawl and remain the place people are moving here to find. The question in front of every town board is not whether to grow, but in what pattern.
What Eudora brings
A development partner that stays.
Eudora operates what it builds, funds the stewardship of shared infrastructure from day one, and conserves 50% or more of every site permanently. We measure our municipal impact the way a town budget does: net fiscal benefit per developed acre, over decades. And because we operate the neighborhood for decades, the town’s counterpart at year twenty is the same organization that made the promises at year one.
The standard
A framework you can hold us to.
The Eudora Neighborhood Standard is a published regulatory framework: form-based standards, conservation requirements, workforce housing minimums, and stewardship structures that a town can review, adapt, and adopt. The research record behind every claim is documented in the Eudora Performance Study. Jeffrey Shumaker, who served as Chief Urban Designer for the City of New York, leads our work with planning departments, town boards, and community stakeholders.
The Neighborhood Standard and the Performance Study
The regulatory framework and the research record behind it, for review by your board, planning department, and counsel.
Built for generations.
Through traditional neighborhood design principles, sustainable energy systems, and community service programs, we can begin to repair the inadvertent damages of sprawl and improve the quality of life in America.
