. , <br /> particular industry or collection of industries, as with an airport, in a <br /> particular location requires the development of an extensive input/output <br /> analysis. While that type of effort is outside the scope of this study, <br /> multipliers have been developed for economic-impact studies of other air- <br /> ports in the country. . <br /> • - For example, the state of New Jersey used an overall multiplier factor <br /> of 3.0 for a statewide study of general aviation airports. Massachusetts <br /> developed an income multiplier of 2.8 for general aviation airports. In <br /> 1979, Sacramento County (California) Department of Airports used an income <br /> multiplier of 2.46 and an employment multiplier of 4.73 for commercial and <br /> general aviation airports. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association <br /> recommends an income multiplier of 4.0 for general aviation transient <br /> operations. The state of Washington used an income multiplier of 3.80 for <br /> a statewide study of general aviation airports. In 1979, the Port of <br /> Portland used a multiplier of 2.26 for income and employment. Based upon <br /> these related studies, an income multiplier of 2.40 for PDK was <br /> utilized. <br /> As discussed earlier, the primary benefit of PDK to the Atlanta area <br /> • is that portion of gross revenues which remain in the •lecal economy to <br /> create income and e..loyment for the resident population_ Application of <br /> the selected aultiplier to the previously calculated residual expenditures <br /> yields an estimate of induced impact of $43,200,000. <br /> The following table shows a total primary and induced economic impact <br /> of PDK to be $74.1 million. <br /> -19- <br /> . maliviit.11 Lia.st °met ASIOCIATEI <br />
