Minicozzi is known for introducing new ways to think about and visualize land use, urban design, and economics. He founded his company, Urban3, to explain and visualize market dynamics created by tax and land use policies. Urban3’s work establishes new conversations between multiple professional sectors, policy makers, and the public to creatively address the challenges of urbanization – which they’ve done across the globe from 30 states, to Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

In 2016, Local First partnered with several local businesses and organizations to bring Minicozzi to La Plata County for a third party assessment of the economic opportunity in our county. The resulting illuminated the importance of the tax revenue generated by our local, independent businesses. Learn more about his 2016 presentation.
