This report gives a comprehensive overview of a three-year extension education program designed to provide educational/technical assistance to the tourism industry serving the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) in northeastern Minnesota.

Computer simulations of industry gross output, employment and earnings changes associated with alternative copper-nickel development scenarios are presented in this report. The direct and indirect economic effects of seven development scenarios are projected for a mining impact Study Area in St....

Computer simulations of population changes associated with alternative copper-nickel mining development scenarios are presented in this report. Projected population changes for seven alternative development scenarios are examined in detail for a primary mining impact Study Area in St. Louis...
