4.3 Public Expenditures 



A basic planning issue is whether additional public expenditures 

 necessitated by an influx of workers would be offset by the revenue 

 generated by 0CS activity. One recently published report indicates 

 that public costs related to OCS activities would exceed revenues in the 

 first three years of development activity; however, revenues would ex- 

 ceed expenditures in the following years. Arthur D. Little, Inc., 

 calculated property, sales, income and corporate tax revenues and local 

 municipal service costs for its scenario, but did not examine govern- 

 mental costs. The results for local costs versus local revenues are 

 shown in Table 9.
