Positive Impacts: Employment Information for On-site Jobs

Each on-site business was researched in the Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), database where number of employees, and sales
volume information was gathered. D &B is a company that provides information on businesses and corporations. It
maintains a database of over 179 million companies globally and over 53 million professional contact names using a variety
of sources including public records, trade references, tele-communication providers, newspapers and publications, and
telephone interviews among other various sources (www.dnb.com). In cases where data were not available in D&B, Real
Estate Recycling, the developer, provided estimates.

The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, is a unique nine-digit identification number assigned by Dun &
Bradstreet to each business and its location within the D&B database for the purpose of identifying each business. For
businesses not reporting to D&B, assumptions about the most appropriate North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) code for those particular businesses were made.

Positive Impacts: Wage and Income Information for On-site Jobs

Wage and income information was gathered using the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. The BLS is a governmental
statistical agency that collects, processes, analyzes, and disseminates essential statistical data to the American public, the
U.S. Congress, and other Federal agencies in the broad field of labor economics and statistics. The data provided by the BLS
has high standards of accuracy and consistently high statistical quality, and impartiality in both subject matter and
presentation.

Average weekly wage data for each of the businesses located at the Twin Lakes Business Park was collected from the BLS
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages database. Average weekly wage data was identified by matching the NAICS
codes corresponding with each type of business with weekly wage data for corresponding businesses in Lawrence County, if
not available at the county level, the wage information was sought by State or National level, respectively. In cases where
wage data are not available for the six digit NAICS code, higher level (less detailed) NAICs codes are used to obtain the wage
data.

To determine the annual wages (mean annual) earned from jobs generated by each of the business located at the Joslyn
Manufacturing & Supply Co. Site, the average weekly wage figure was multiplied by the number of weeks in a year (52) and
by the number of jobs (employees) for each of the businesses.
