Data Source and Calculation
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership has used a Return on Investment (ROI) calculation to estimate the ratio of State revenue generated from announced jobs (numerator) divided by a total of VEDP operating costs and State-based incentives since 1995. The ratio has typically been reported for a 10-year period. This measure is based on the revenue portion of that calculation.
The Measure Baseline and FY2015 Target are based on a ratio of 10-Year Estimated State Revenue per Actual Announced Job for each of the past five fiscal years (FY2010-FY2014). Those annual ratios were then averaged into a single amount of 10-Year Estimated State Revenue per Announced Job and multiplied by the "All" FY2015 Job Goal. The result is an estimate of the 10-Year State Revenue Generated by Jobs Created and Billions of Dollars Invested by New and Existing Companies.
It should be noted that both the Jobs Created and the Dollars Invested create the future revenue stream.
