Brigid A Tuck

Brigid joined the Center for Community Vitality in fall 2008. She conducts analyses and writes reports for the Economic Impact Analysis (EIA) program, which she helped launch in early 2009. Since then, the EIA program has issued more than three dozen studies, covering numerous economic sectors in Minnesota - including tourism, education, manufacturing, retail, infrastructure and local foods.

Brigid has 20-plus years of experience using IMPLAN, the input-output modeling software used in economic impact analysis. She has completed three IMPLAN training courses and presents regularly at the national conference for IMPLAN users. Before joining University of Minnesota Extension, Brigid worked for both St. Cloud State University and the University of Georgia Extension.
