Airport Economic Impact Study: Methodology and Calculator Training

About the Event

Have you ever wondered how much annual economic activity is generated by your local airport? Would you like to know how this translates into jobs, earned income, and spending in the local economy? This training discussed the answers to these and other questions about how airports benefit communities throughout Minnesota.

In 2019, the Minnesota Department of Transportation conducted a statewide airport economic impact study to better understand the impact and importance of state airports. The study culminated in a public economic impact calculator.

Training attendees learned about the study methodology, the calculator, and media tools to help share the economic benefits of airports throughout the state.
