Table Seven The Impact Multipliers for the Virginia Horse Center Output Multiplier Earnings Multiplier Employment Multiplier State of Virginia 2.48 0.95 43.54 Lexington-R-bridge 1.88 0.72 45.79 - In the mid-1990's an Input-output model for the .combined Kittitas and Yakima Counties was developed by one of the authors of this present study in order·to estimate the. impacts of the operation of a fish hatchery, also located next to the City of Cle Elum. The direct to indirect impact multipliers for this hatchery study (1.6 for jobs and 1.8 for earnings) were very close to the 1.88 mu{tfpfiers of the Virginia stud yr This is not surprising in view of the facts that the two county area has approximately the same population as the Lexington-Rockbrtdge area, and that most of the spending associated with the hatchery-expenditures by recreational fishers -impacted the hotel, restaurant, e1;1mping and retail foods sectors, as did most of the expenditures by horse park visitors. In both cases about 90% of expenditures impact these tourism sect9rs. Accordingly , the sectorlal multipliers for the state of Virginia study are deemed appropriate for direct application as to the impact of the horse park upon the State of Washington.
