# Compute the effect on growth and do a back-of-the-envelope calculation for whether it is worth TIF financing.
Note that 0.001 decimal degrees is 111m or 1.11hm [http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/index.php/Decimal_degrees], so 2.5 hm (for a total of 5 per side, and so 25hmsq) is 0.002252 decimal degrees and 1.617hm (giving a hull area of 10hmsq, which at 0.95 startups per hectare -- essentially 1 per square block, accommodates 25% of Houston's 27 active startups in 2017 in 10.46025 hectares). Using centroid analysis on Houston's 2017 hulls, the optimal location for a 3.2 block by 3.2 block innovation district is just above the Galleria area in Uptown [https://www.google.com/maps/place/29%C2%B044'42.0%22N+95%C2%B028'13.1%22W/@29.7450129,-95.4724838,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d29.7450083!4d-95.4702951]. There is a business park directly adjacent to these coordinates which ia about the right size for the innovation district and currently includes the offices of Schlumberger, Alert Logic, Hire Priority, and others.
