Prepared for The Progress Fund’s Trail Town Program, Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau and Allegheny Trail Alliance by Campos, Inc.
August 7, 2009
From the Executive Summary: "On average, business owners indicated that one-quarter of their gross revenue was directly attributed to trail users and two-thirds reported that they experienced at least some increase in gross revenue because of their proximity to the trail. Over one-quarter of all businesses that were surveyed mentioned that they have or plan to either expand their operations or hire additional staff because of the impact of the trail."
