| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| The anticipated total economic contribution to the Florida economy from firms served by the program will impact the following categories: 2400 jobs created and retained; $200 million in increased and retained sales; $30 million spent on new investments;$25 million in cost savings. The residual effects of this increased economic activity will extend beyond the client firms. Increased sales by Florida MEP clients required that they increased their purchases of intermediate goods and services from companies located in Florida to support their increased output. In addition, the income from new jobs generated by Florida MEP clients and supplying firms result in increased demand for consumer goods. each of these effect, in turn, generates subsequent ripples throughout the Florida economy. The sum of these direct, indirect and induced effects suggests that small and medium size manufactures will have significant impact on the tens of thousand jobs retained and created, increase output in the billions, and contribute well over a billion of gross state product.
