Abstract:

This study measured the economic benefits of the Port of Portland aviation facilities. The study findings revealed an annual economic impact of $1 billion, including several sizable components. The development of an economic impact study is a major undertaking. Numerous industry sectors require careful and detailed analysis. Data collection can pose formidable problems, necessitating resourcefulness by the analysts. The final product enables management to assess the economic benefits provided to the community it serves. In addition, economic impact studies can be helpful in estimating the benefits of future projects. Airport authorities which have not done economic impact studies for their facilities might consider such studies valuable tools for explaining the benefits airports contribute to the community. Finally, the publication of study results in a popular summary, with lay terminology, is a worthwhile endeavor. (Author)
