Scenarios “Scenarios” provide counties with information on what might happen in alternative future conditions. These are “what if” scenarios, such as “what would happen to employment in the county if Employer X closed?” or “What would happen to the housing market in the county if our population continues to grow?” Community Advisory Panels usually identify the most critical local scenarios for CPAC analysis.
Staff: CPAC staff, Advisory Panel Water Quality has become a major policy concern. The Missouri Watershed Initiative has undertaken a pilot program in the Long Branch reservoir area to address this issue. The program seeks to bring together local stakeholders, policy makers and researchers with the goal of developing a consensual policy for sustainable water quality policy. CPAC's baseline for the Long Branch Watershed yields a ten year projection of the area's critical economic and demographic variables. This information provides the Long Branch Advisory Council with a picture of the economic issues and needs faced by local communities. The Regional Economic Contributions of Kingdom City Businesses Staff: Morgan M. Mundell, Anna E. Kovalyova, Thomas G. Johnson Businesses in Kingdom City, Missouri have a positive fiscal impact on the surrounding area and make sizable contributions to the local economy. Many business owners feel that their economic vitality is derived from being located in a convenient area for traffic from the interstate and highway to access their services and to purchase goods. Therefore, local business owners believe that relocating the existing interchange on I-70 around Kingdom City would be detrimental to their businesses. This study shows the overall impact of potential (hypothetical) closure of businesses in Kingdom City on the Callaway County’s economy.
