The Everett-Stewart Regional Airport (ESRA) engaged Economic Decisions Group, Inc. to conduct an economic impact study evaluating the airport’s role in regional economic development, including its operations, visitor spending, and business activities.
The study highlights ESRA as a key economic driver, generating a total economic impact of $16.74 million, supporting 50 jobs, and contributing $3.29 million in labor income. The airport’s aviation-related businesses, including maintenance, flight instruction, and agricultural services, account for the majority of this impact.
