The Local Economic Impact • Spotsylvania is the largest employer in the county - 80% of SCPS’ payroll is made to employees residing in Spotsylvania County, which in turn pays taxes and spends income in Spotsylvania County. • Every dollar allocated to the School Division’s operating budget generates more than a dollar of consumer spending in the county. • Higher quality schools lead naturally to higher skilled workforces, which in turn provides economic growth.
