Summary

The county received a Tourism Economics proposal; commissioners asked the chamber to clarify whether a $4,000 county analysis would include city data and to provide costs for a comprehensive county report before deciding to purchase the study.

Atchison County commissioners reviewed an email from Jill at the chamber about a Tourism Economics economic-impact report for the prior calendar year. The packet listed a county analysis at $4,000 and a city analysis at $6,750; commissioners asked the chamber to clarify whether a single county analysis could encompass data for the county’s cities and for the county to share the resulting report.

One commissioner suggested the price for a comprehensive county-and-city study might be higher; Chair said they would ask Jill for more information about the scope and cost and report back to the board.

Next steps: Chair will contact Jill at the chamber to request a quote and scope clarifications for a comprehensive county analysis that would allow sharing the report with cities in the county.
