Table 25 and Table 26, respectively. All of the impact analysis results are for a single 20 or 40MW plant built in each county. Each project is considered independently, and it was assumedthat there is no constraint on supply of construction labor or professional services to accomplishthese projects, even if they were done simultaneously.Regarding the impacts of capital construction (Table 22), the impacts in Duval county aremuch larger than for Alachua and Leon Counties because the Jacksonville area has asignificantly more well developed industrial infrastructure and manufacturing base that iscapable of providing key equipment such as boilers and turbines. It was assumed that thisequipment would be purchased locally if available. A few other counties in our analysis, such asSanta Rosa (Pensacola), also had similar magnitude of greater capital impacts for this reason. ForAlachua and Leon counties, these items must be purchased from outside the counties, thusrepresenting a leakage of money from the local economy.Table 23.
