Nevada Economic Impact Study for General Aviation Airports

The Nevada Economic Impact Study for General Aviation Airports presents the results of the Economic Impact Assessment survey for general aviation airports in Nevada that was commissioned by the Nevada Department of Transportation. This study was conducted by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) at the University of Nevada, Reno, between October 2003 and March 2005, and was funded with a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The aim of this study was to assess the economic effect of airport general aviation visitors, tenants and businesses on local economies that support them. It stands to reason that if the airport did not exist, that the direct and total impacts on the economy in inputs and employment would not exist in the greater community.
