SABRE was hired to develop a pertinent to Mobile and Baldwin Counties, Alabama to highlight trends and to increase understanding of the area鈥檚 economic growth, educational systems, community health, and civic life. Key metrics, for which the dashboards were built, included population trends, number of middle class households, average wages, K-12 academic proficiency, obesity rates, child mortality, air quality, water quality, crime rates, and others. Various local, state and federal public data sources and Tableau Software applications were used to develop the dashboards.
鈥淲hen the Coastal Conversations program was looking to develop the Coastal Community Dashboard, we did not have to look very far to find the most qualified source. At the 91桃色, SABRE was by far the best qualified to undertake the task. Led by Dr. Reid Cummings and Jana Stupavsky, the SABRE team has delivered to us the coastal region's first comprehensive data source in one location.鈥�

Project completion: February 2021
SABRE was hired to perform an economic impact study for the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL). The study helped this entity鈥檚 leadership quantify not only the revenue they bring to the surrounding geographic region, but also the number of statewide jobs stemming from their operation. IMPLAN, a proprietary database designed specifically for economic modeling, was used to complete this study.
鈥淭he DISL, through the nature of its mission to provide transformative education and research programs, is committed to the wise stewardship of our valuable natural resources. Likewise, we are committed to being wise stewards of the state鈥檚 financial allocations to DISL. T provided us with the sound data to demonstrate this not only in the areas of revenue and earnings impact, but also in the number of jobs statewide, to stakeholders statewide. Dr. Reid Cummings with SABRE was very responsive to our requests and timely in his communication with us.鈥�
