This Section Publications Fact Sheets Forms Press Releases ... Reports Study Reveals $70 million Impact on State's Cconomy for the Dodge Tour de Georgia Atlanta, GA June 17, 2004 The impact of the Dodge Tour de Georgia on the state's economy was close to $70 million, as determined by an impact analysis conducted by the Research Services group with the Economic Development Institute at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. The 2004 Dodge Tour de Georgia, the country's premier, professional cycling stage race, attracted 748,000 spectators as 120 pro cyclists raced through 23 cities in six days this past April, covering 653 miles. "In only our second year, the Dodge Tour de Georgia has surpassed all expectations for its positive economic impact on the state, and its philanthropic impact for the Georgia Cancer Coalition. This event showcases the best professional cyclists from North America and around the world, but also entertains a significant number of media and visitors, and employs a wide variety of Georgia vendors. The event is now proven to benefit all Georgians," said Stan Holm, executive director of the Dodge Tour de Georgia. The event is owned and operated by the Georgia Partnership for Economic Development (GPED), a non-profit foundation. GPED partners with the Georgia Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism to conduct the event. Tourism is Georgia's second largest industry behind agriculture. Significant findings from the Georgia Tech research showed $39 million of direct impact on the state economy by analyzing visitor expenditures from intercept surveys in five host cities and extrapolating these findings to the other host cities. The higher number of $70 million is an estimate of the event's total impact on the state economy from recirculation of the direct impacts. Intercept surveys were conducted in Alpharetta, Brasstown Bald Mountain, Dahlonega, Dalton and Macon; each of these locations hosted a start or finish location (Macon had both).

Agriculture is a staple of the Southern economy and sits at the core of the region's rich history. Georgia's 40,000 farms cover 29 percent of the state's land area. But, as growth from Atlanta and other Georgia communities creeps outward, sprawling development is threatening to eat away at the state's best agricultural lands. Farmers are facing numerous challenges to keeping their land in agriculture. From uncontrolled growth sprawling outward from Georgia cities to enduring a multiple-year drought with no end in sight, selling land to development often seems like the only option a farmer has to remain profitable.
