The Virginia Department of Historic Resources just completed a
"Preservation Toolbox" that includes, in addition to a lot of other
really good stuff, a booklet about the economic benefits of restoring
historic buildings. It lists statistics of jobs generated in the
community, tourist dollars to be expected, and other vital points. I am
not sure if it is available yet for distribution, but they could provide
you with the statistics if you contact them. I don't have an e-mail
address, but the phone number is 804-367-2323.
