INL IMPACTS 2006
In 2006, Boise State University’s College of Business and Economics evaluated
the effects on the Idaho economy of all cleanup, research and administrative
operations at the INL site. The Impacts 2006 report details the results
of this latest comprehensive research and demonstrates to stakeholders the
significant and positive effects INL-site operations have on the region immediately
surrounding our facilities, as well as on the entire state.
The report provides an analysis of
three dimensions of the Lab’s contributions to the state and region. The first is
INL’s impact on employment, personal income and total output for the state. The
report also assesses the impacts of the Lab and its employees on state and local
tax revenues. Third, the study examines the effects of INL-site employees’
charitable contributions, educational outreach and volunteer activities on the
surrounding communities and the state. The report measures direct, secondary and
tertiary impacts of INL’s operations.
