The business climate is affected by both major cost factors (e.g., land, labor, taxes, regulations) and non-cost
factors (e.g., quality of life, attitudes toward business). Government has a big impact on business climate (and hence,
economic development practice), for it is that combination of services provided by the public sector, such as education,
infrastructure, taxation, and regulation, which creates the context within which companies operate. Moreover, government
delivers other direct programs to companies in the form of grants, low interest loans, debt insurance mechanisms,
and business advisory services.

patterns, and the impact of development on neighborhoods and jurisdictions. CUPA also evaluates community and
economic development programs.
CUPA enters into long-term partnerships with neighborhoods to implement revitalization programs that are jointly
designed. CUPA seeks to translate lessons from practice into public policy.
