Valuable Reports About Economic Change in Minnesota

Are you wondering about bicycling infrastructure usage in Minnesota? Or maybe the indirect effects of the horse racing industry on Minnesota’s economy? What about the economic effects of Minnesota’s Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit over the last few years? These are the types of targeted questions that are researched by the University of Minnesota Extension staff in their economic impact analysis reports.

The Legislative Reference Library has several of these insightful reports, which are focused on, or involve, state programs, such as Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (See An Economic Analysis of Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Monies: An Update) or the Minnesota Procurement Technical Assistance Center (See Economic Contribution of Federal, State, and Local Government Contracts Leveraged in Minnesota ...). In addition to research on state programs, the economic impact analysis reports cover specific counties, events or potential emergency events, and industries. The Library also has reports from this program about the economic impacts of bicycling, horse racing, vineyards and wineries, and projects leveraged by the Minnesota Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit.

These reports are available at the Legislative Reference Library. Contact a librarian at 651-296-8338 or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn if you'd like to check out any of these publications.
