Mr. Taussig has also overseen the preparation of numerous feasibility and impact studies involving computerized analyses of project cash flows and/or impacts on public agencies and landowners.

Prior to establishing his own firm, Mr. Taussig was the Director of Finance for Gfeller Development Company, where he handled all take-out and construction financing for the company's residential projects and infrastructure. He also prepared development project proformas that were used by prospective lenders and joint venture partners to evaluate the company's proposed projects. Mr. Taussig was previously employed for 6 years by MVC where, as the Manager of Housing and Community Development, he was involved in the planning and financing of two planned communities encompassing over 50,000 homes. Mr. Taussig handled a substantial portion of MVC's mortgage and infrastructure financing during that period. He also worked for 5 years in the public sector as the Administrator of a Federal housing and community development program and as a Land Use Planner.
