DISNEY PARK MAY BRING 12,400 JOBS

A theme park planned by Walt Disney Co. in Prince William County would bring in 6.3 million visitors a year and directly or indirectly lead to jobs for as many as 12,400 Virginians, company officials said Monday.

The figures, compiled in a study by a California consultant, were presented Monday at news conferences in Manassas and Richmond.

The study said the project would generate $1.86 billion in taxes for the state and county over 30 years and would provide the spark for a "vibrant regional economy."
