Economic Impacts from Spending by Marina Slip Renters and Private Dock Owners at Lake Sidney Lanier

Abstract

This report documents the local economic impacts of marina slip users and private dock users at Lake Sidney Lanier, located in northern Georgia. This economic assessment is based on the results of a 1999 survey of the samples of Lake Sidney Lanier marina slip renters and private dock owners. Spending estimates are adjusted to 2004 dollars. The economic impacts estimated for Lake Sidney Lanier 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 also be used to evaluate management alternatives and strategies and to conduct sensitivity analyses.
