Abstract

The state of Florida recognized that the negative effects of development in the Florida Keys were extending beyond the local area and affecting the broader interests of the state itself. In an attempt to regulate growth and its effects, the state, in 1975, designated the archipelago off its southern coast an Area of Critical State Concern. Besides the environmental changes, this designation and its accompanying land use regulations have t he potential to create economic impacts. This thesis analyzes the Keys' economy and determines if the critical area designation impacted the local economy.
