This analysis includes both short‐term impacts through operations in 2011 and the impact of construction projects. This study applies an economic multiplier analysis and input‐output model that was created in Minnesota by the MIG, Inc., and is used by state governments and the USDA Forest Service, among others. To generate economic effects of Fond du Lac, IMPLAN input‐output models were constructed to estimate measures of Employment, Output, and Value Added impacts. Results from the IMPLAN models for these measures are reported in terms of direct, indirect, and induced impacts. Impacts are reported by showing estimated economic activity for operations in 2011 and for year‐by‐year construction costs for various projects. All values are reported in 2012 dollars.enBureau of Business and Economic ResearchUniversity of Minnesota DuluthReport
