  1. Economic Benefits of Oregon Public Ports PNWA Annual Convention October 16, 2014 by: Todd Chase, AICP, LEED

  2. Presentation Contents • Purpose • Methodology • Commodity Trade Overview • Impact Summary Oregon’s 23 Public Ports

  3. Methodology • Document Individual and Collective Port-Related Economic Benefits • Port-related benefits: port operations, facilities and activities (including channel and basin dredging) • Port tenants and related non-local visitation • Identify Direct, Indirect & Induced Impacts (jobs, income, value added, output) • Describe Economic Performance Benchmarks • Utilize Proven & Generally Accepted methods

  4. Key Definitions IMPLAN =IMPact for PLANining (economic input/output model) IMPLAN Sectors: up to 440 detailed industry or commodity types (i.e., sector #17 = commercial fishing) Employment: IMPLAN includes full and part-time job estimates; tends to be higher than Oregon Emp. Dept. estimates that report only “covered employment” subject to unemployment insurance taxes. Direct Impacts: jobs, output, GDP, taxes attributed to port operations, port tenants, prior port land sales, port facilities (Marina, boat launch) and port activities (dredge permitting). Indirect Impacts: business-to-business economic activity (i.e., suppliers, service inputs, such as accounting and legal firms, daycare, catering, etc.) Induced Impacts: attributed to household spending their earnings Labor Income: IMPLAN includes total payroll costs, labor income, and benefits (i.e., health benefits payments, 401-k payments) Output: annual sales/revenues less depreciation and year-end inventory Value Added or GDP: gross domestic product. Includes labor compensation, proprietor income, business profits and federal/state/local tax payments

  5. How the IMPLAN Model Works… • (forward linkages) • (household consumption spending) Direct Impacts Indirect Impacts Induced Impacts • (backward linkages) • (supply-chain inputs, such as utilities, supplies, parts, materials, transport. and vender services) • Direct spending • (port operations, direct employment at port-related businesses and related visitation to port facilities)

  6. Port-Related Benefits Flow Chart
