CLP board planning to open parts of Park By Jane Smith
EFFECT ON THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY Crawford County’s economy could lose an estimated $14.45 million to $17 million in tourism dollars if Conneaut Lake Park doesn’t open in full this year. That’s based on 2007 statistics from the Crawford County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Although the park was closed in 2007, it had gross revenues of $2.36 million in 2006. Economists say each dollar spent will turn over seven times throughout the community. It moves through the economy as businesses buy supplies and goods from other local firms, pay their employees and taxes. Those firms, in turn, buy supplies and goods, pay their employees and taxes. It pushes the $2.36 million figure to as much as $16.5 million. When the park didn’t open last year, business owners adjacent to the park said their trade was down between 30 percent and 50 percent. In addition to lost business, that also translates into lost summer jobs. —Jane Smith
