The Economic Development Impact of Renovating Mattamuskeet Lodge: Report to Hyde County, North Carolina and North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission

The University of North Carolina School of Government was commissioned by Hyde County, North Carolina in partnership with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to prepare a report on the likely short- and longer-term impacts of the renovation of Mattamuskeet Lodge on the economy of Hyde County and the broader region. It provides data and analysis to describe the economic context for the Lodge and to guide strategies and decisions that have the potential to increase the return on investment. The report was prepared in October 2016 based upon the compilation and analysis of secondary source materials and a series of interviews conducted during a site visit to Hyde County.
