RESEARCH FORMS AN INTEGRAL PART of FRESC’s work. Our in-house research capacity enables us to develop legislative proposals and offer critical analysis of both government and corporate policies that affect low-income workers and communities.
Over the past several years, FRESC has released several major studies. These include reports on the Wal-Mart development proposal and Tax-Increment Financing and Urban Redevelopment in Denver. FRESC researchers also provide critical support to our various organizing and advocacy projects, producing timely campaign and popular education materials.
