The Economic Impact is obviously a key point when considering the cannabis industry, mainly what is it doing for us locally? The information collected for the survey was acquired by personally asking each licensee in the Kenai Peninsula Borough a series of questions in a survey format. The information was then collected and tallied to give us our final Impact numbers.
We have seen collectively with 34 new businesses over $5M in initial start up costs, over 80 new jobs, and close to $300,000/yr in sales tax to our local school district. Very promising numbers.
I hope other municipalities or cities will conduct surveys of their own which may at some point be representative of the entire state of Alaska.
