Economic Impacts from Spending by Community Dock Owners at Rough River Lake

Abstract

This report documents the local economic impacts of users of community-owned docks at Rough River Lake, located in western Kentucky. This economic assessment is based on the results of a 1999 survey of a sample of Rough River Lake community dock owners. Spending estimates are adjusted to 2004 dollars. The economic impacts estimated for Rough River Lake are useful for accountability purposes, lake support, and explaining the role of the lake in the region's economy. This report demonstrates how the survey results can be used to evaluate management alternatives and strategies and to conduct sensitivity analyses.
