Economic Impacts of Women’s Rights National Historical Park on Seneca County
Stynes D. 2000. Economic Impacts of Women’s Rights National Historical Park on Seneca County. Michigan State University: Department of Park, Recreation and Tourism Resources. East Lansing, MI
This report summarizes the economic impacts of Women's Rights NHP (WORI) on the Seneca County economy. Impacts are estimated using the new NPS Money Generation Model (MGM2). Impact estimates are based on an estimated 25,728 park visitors and a park operating budget of $958,000 in 1999. Combining the regional economic impacts of visitor spending and park operations, the total local economic impact for 1999 of the park (no construction impacts are included) was just under one million dollars in local sales ($958,000), $1.1 million in personal income and $1.3 million in value added. Park operations account for 75% of the impact in terms of value added, while visitor spending contributes 25%. Overall, the park supports about 37 jobs in the area, 11 positions in the park, and another 26 in the local community. The latter accrue from direct and secondary effects of visitor spending in the area, the induced effects of park employees who live in the area, and park purchases from local businesses.
