• <br /> 4'• <br /> 2 <br /> 3. Data on airport revenue and extense. Questionnaire 3 should be <br /> completed by the airport mana.ser. <br /> • <br /> 4. Data on other industries located at airport. Questionnaire 4 <br /> should be distributed to the head of each industrial/butineas <br /> orgaaization located at the airport or adjacent industrial park. <br /> 5. Data on tourism and convention business. Questionnaire 5 should <br /> be completed by the a.- opriate local government organization (if - <br /> in existence) or by the local Chamber of Commerce or similar organi- <br /> . <br /> zation. • <br /> 6. Data on economic expansion. Questionnaire 6 should be completed by <br /> the local Industrial Development Commission or similar public body. <br /> Alternatively, the data may be available through the Chamber of <br /> C--erce or similar organization. <br /> The Questionnaires can be modified to account for any unique local <br /> situation. We believe, however, that all the essential elements are <br /> covered in the survey. It will provide basic data on direct employment , <br /> local goods and services purchased, and tax revenues generated. It will <br /> also provide data from which you can determine the airport 's role as: <br /> (1) a stimulus to tourism, (2) en attraction to new business and industry, <br /> and (3) the indirect contribution to the total area economy. <br /> We have tried to limit the data collection because all data collected <br /> will have to be aggregated and analyzed. Local college and universities <br /> may be helpful if automatic data processing is required. Students might <br /> be interested in the statistical work at a reasonable price. <br /> Finally, publish the data and related analyses. In preparing the final <br /> copy, you may want to involve t free-lance writer or newsman. By all <br /> means, prepare a summary highlighting the dramatic contributions of <br /> aviation. And make sure that the information gets the widest possible <br /> circulation. The 1'411 study should be available to all who want a copy. <br /> Summary pamphlets should be widely distributed, throughout the oommunity. <br /> A press conference to release the data is a good idea. . <br /> If possible, do not let the study be just a one time effort. Some person <br /> or group could monitor developments at the airport and issue additional <br /> material as changes occur. A new industry, increased flight schedules, <br /> a new operator - all these reflect the continuing contributlon of aviation <br /> to the community. <br /> • • , <br />
