Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The above estimate is based on the loss of half of the annual receipts in the WV Development Office Promotion Fund. For the last three fiscal years the average annual deposits in the Promotion Fund have been $2,600,000. The money in this fund is used to cover the costs of print materials , placement of advertisements , and the costs of trade shows among other things designed to promote economic development in the state. At his time , except for the fact we would have less money to market the state , we do do not know what activities we will have to be cut back on.
Memorandum
It should be noted that annual terminal revenue is decreasing each year. Based on the current year's collections to date the Development Office Promotion Fund will receive less than $2,400,000 this fiscal year.
