Item The Economic Empact of U.S. Steel's Keetac Mine Expansion on the State of Minnesota And on the Arrowhead Region(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2009) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Solem, Lyle; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Economic Impact of a Mixed-Use Development Project In Bloomington, Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2008) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Economic Impact of a Mixed-Use Development Project In Bloomington, Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2008) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Almquist-Minko, VickieA new project of mixed-use development of condos, hotel, restaurants, coffee shop, and retail is proposed for Bloomington, Minnesota. The impacts for the following area or regions were modeled: the State of Minnesota; a 13-county Twin Cities metro area (Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, Washington, Wright, Carver, Chisago, Goodhue, Rice, Scott, Sherburne, and Isanti Counties); a 3-county sub-set of Hennepin, Ramsey and Dakota Counties; and targeted zip codes including 13 zip codes in Hennepin County. Landmark Research, Inc. provided the UMD Labovitz School's research bureau (BBER) estimated employment and sales for construction and operations phases of the project. The mixed-use development project proposed includes new activity in the following IMPLAN sectors: 481 Restaurant; 479 Hotel; 481 Hotel Restaurant; 445 Retail food; 448 Retail Clothing; 453 Retail Misc.; 487 Health and Personal Care; and 418 Movie Theatres.Item The Economic Impact of Adding Wind Energy In Communities on Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior, 2007(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2008) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Jafri, Syed; Kasim, Taha; Almquist-Minko, VickieThese summary tables present the total economic impact from wind-generated energy as ten percent and twenty percent of total energy supply in the combined three-county region, as well as Cook, Lake and St. Louis Counties. Impacts are projected for 2010, 2015, and 2020, using population and energy consumption to estimate inputs for these projections. Sources for all tables are IMPLAN and the UMD Labovitz School’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research. The calculations in these models use 2008 dollars for reports, without adjustments for inflation. Readers should also be mindful of the diminishing reliability of modeling an economy as projections proceed into the future; therefore the values projected for 2010 will warrant most scrutiny.Item The Economic Impact of Constructing Five Electric Power Lines in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, 2012-2015(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2010) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Resch, Brian; Genest, Tanner; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Impact of Declines in Forestry-Related Industries in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and a Three-State Region, 2006(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2008) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Faridi, Salman; Solem, Lyle; Jafri, Faraz; Miller, Chris; Kasim, Taha; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Impact of Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Mining On the State of Minnesota and on the Arrowhead Region and Douglas County, WI(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2009) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Solem, Lyle; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Economic Impact of Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council Project Funding in Minnesota, 2011-2013(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2010) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Resch, Brian; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Economic Impact of Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council Project Funding in Minnesota, 2011-2014(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2011) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jenna; Kasim, Taha; Resch, Brian; Almquist-Minko, VickieThe Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (LSOHC) was established by the Minnesota State Legislature with the responsibility of providing annual recommendations to the legislature on how the funds should be used. The council will make recommendations to the legislature on appropriations of money from the Outdoor Heritage Fund that are consistent with the Constitution and state law and that take into consideration the outcomes of, including, but not limited to, the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan, that directly relate to the restoration, protection, and enhancement of wetlands, prairies, forests, and habitat for fish, game, and wildlife, and that prevent forest fragmentation, encourage forest consolidation, and expand restored native prairie. This analysis assessed the economic impact of the appropriated project funding. The LSOHC asked the University of Minnesota Duluth Labovitz School Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) to estimate this impact on the State on Minnesota using county data for impact models for value added, employment, and output measures. The BBER studied and estimated the economic impacts of twenty-seven funded projects on the State of Minnesota. The economic modeling data and software used were IMPLAN. The study used IMPLAN’s economic multiplier analysis and input/output modeling, Version 3.0, created in Minnesota by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group, Inc. Data was the most recent IMPLAN data, which is for year 2008. Results are reported in 2011 dollars, using deflators as calculated within the model.Item The Economic Impact of Minnesota's Forestry and Forestry-Related industries(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2010) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Almquist-Minko, Vickie; Kasim, Taha; Resch, Brian; Genest, TannerItem The Economic Impact of Minnesota’s Forestry‐Related Industries on the State of Minnesota(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2010) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Resch, Brian; Genest, Tanner; Almquist-Minko, VickieThis project estimates the economic impacts of logging, forest products manufacturing, and related industries in the state of Minnesota. The economic modeling data and software used was IMPLAN. The study used IMPLAN’s economic multiplier analysis and input/output modeling, Version 3.0, created in Minnesota by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group, Inc. Data was the most recent IMPLAN data, which is for year 2008. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) asked the University of Minnesota Duluth Labovitz School Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) to estimate this impact using state and county data for impact models for value added, employment, and output measures. 1 The DNR asked BBER for baseline primary and secondary forestry industry sector modeling to assist with the DNR’s update of their 2004 "Economic Impact of Forest Industries" report. BBER’s deliverables are as follows: An economic impact analysis of forest products industries and related sectors in order to quantify the economic importance of these sectors in terms of employment, value of shipments (output), contribution to gross state product, and taxes paid.Item The Economic Impact of the Duluth School District's Long Range Facilities Plan (Red Plan) on the Duluth-Superior, MN-WI Metropolitan Statistical Area(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2009) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Solem, Lyle; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Structure of the Northland Works Region, 2009(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2009) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Solem, Lyle; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Erie Pier Process Re-use Facility Cost Analysis(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2008) Brannan, Rodger; Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Miller, Chris; Solem, Lyle; Kasim, Taha; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Feasibility Study and Business Plan for Olcott Park Greenhouse(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2009) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Resch, Brian; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Modeled Prospective Regional Socio-Economic Impacts of the Back Forty Project Menominee County, Michigan(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2010) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Resch, Brian; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Silver Bay, MN Eco-Industrial Opportunities: Review of Ownership Structures(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2010) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Genest, Tanner; Resch, Brian; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem Tettegouche State Park Outpost Learning Center Feasibility Study and Scenarios(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2012) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Genest, Tanner; Jaeschke, Josh; Jacobson, Jenna; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem UPDATE: Northern Minnesota Forestry Analysis(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2011) Skurla, James A; Jacobson, Jean; Kasim, Taha; Genest, Tanner; Jacobson, Jenna; Jaeschke, Josh; Almquist-Minko, Vickie
