The primary data source for this research is the independent feasibility study by C. H. Johnson, Inc., which provides revenue, employment, event, and attendance projections. Economic impact studies are used across the nation to measure the impact of various projects, events and industries. Such studies are used to understand the benefits that flow from a particular project, event or industry. The facility would offer recreational and competitive athletic opportunities as well as increased educational opportunities for children. The sports facilities would primarily be oriented for use by regional sports organizations and teams. The planned DSSLC would fill an unmet need for such facilities in the local marketplace.Item Just How Costly Is Gas?(Center for Applied Demography & Survey Research, 2004-07) Condliffe, SimonRecord gasoline prices are generating outrage from drivers, and will be likely a policy issue in the coming election.

Nevertheless the evidence suggests that gasoline expenditures are, on average, a relatively small budget item. Historically, consumers spent more of their budgets on gas in the eighties than presently. Within the context of other consumer expenditures, consumers spend approximately fifty percent more of their budgets on dining out, and thirty-eight percent more on entertainment, than on gasoline and oil. However, as gas prices continue rise, gas expenditures may command an increasing share of total expenditures, and reduce discretionary expenditures on other items. Should the price of oil continue to rise, inflation-adjusted prices will close in on the record high of 1980.Item Measuring the First State: A Guide to Economic Data for the First State for Researchers, Students, and Policymakers(2006-07-18T19:10:34Z) Condliffe, SimonThis document is designed to describe the various data available for measuring the Delaware economy.
