Dutchess County Case Study Response

Paper Summary:

This paper presents a response to a Cost of Community Services Study that compared the costs of providing municipal services to agriculture and other sectors of the community with the tax revenues generated by each sector. The paper looks at whether the study adequately quantifies financial benefits and discusses the inadequacies of the study.

From the Paper:

"It is difficult to make a definite decision because of the lack of valid information about the achieved benefits and the lack of valid information about the potential economic benefits. However, it is suggested that these kinds of efforts do have value. For this value to be seen though, the efforts need to be organized and managed better. For example, the potential economic benefits need to be identified, including the potential income from farm products and the potential income via tourism. If proper research was conducted, an effective plan could be developed to take best advantage of the opportunities. The promotional activities could then be effectively directed. Resources from within the community, including time and money, could also be directed effectively to gain the best economic advantages."
