Description
Aransas County Economic Projections & Outlook
Presented by Dr. Jim Lee, PhD, Texas A&M University
Presented by Dr. Jim Lee, PhD, Texas A&M University
While it is still early for an official estimate of the total economic damage caused by Harvey, a recent survey of experts indicates that the total cost is likely to range from $80 billion to $108 billion. Data has been suggested that the equivalent of 43% of structures were destroyed or uninhabitable in Rockport and other parts of Aransas County. Basically, the economy of a community devastated by a natural disaster would undergo three stages. Join us to find out these stages, plus so much more information including:
- What is the makeup of the pre-Harvey economy that the community is expected to restore?
- What is the impact of Hurricane Harvey on the local economy?
- How would different paces of reconstruction efforts affect local businesses and taxes?
- How would the post-Harvey recovery affect the rest of the Coastal Bend region?
