In order to justify a project on economic grounds, an economic analysis must be conducted to demonstrate that the benefits from the restoration exceed the cost. The economic analysis will also determine the project which yields the greatest net economic benefits, subject to budget and other relevant constraints. Finally, the economic analysis of benefits may be apportioned among benefiting property owners, local businesses, and local governments in order to develop a funding plan for the beach restoration.Item Impact of Captiva's Beaches on Property Values and Taxes(1992-12-20) Regional Research Associates, Inc.This report contains an analysis of the impact of the two Captiva beach restorations on the island's property values. The impact is measured by an analysis of property sales based on data between 1977 and 1991. The second part of the report projects the losses in property values if the Captiva Beach Maintenance Program is not implemented, beginning with the beach renourishment scheduled for 1996. The report concludes with estimates of the impact of the decline in property values resulting from a failure to maintain the beaches on local government revenues.
