In comparison, a cost-benefit analysis projects that bringing the internet retail giant to Lexington County will cost the state almost $61 million over 10 years – about $21.5 million more than first estimated. That’s a projected tax gain for state and local services of $1.64 billion. The revised Commerce Dept. analysis includes an estimated $128.8 million in state revenues. Much of that is based on a payroll of 2,509 projected indirect jobs from companies doing business with Amazon, reports The Nerve, an online newsletter of the conservative S.C. Policy Council. Indirect income is estimated with a payroll multiplier of $2 for every $1 Amazon contributes.
