The economic impact analysis — which measured how direct employment and spending by the university have secondary benefits to the local, regional and statewide economies — found that every dollar UC Davis spent in the region generated an additional $1.15 in the region. And for every 10 university jobs in the region, it created an additional seven.

The $1.15 billion innovation hub on UC Davis’ Sacramento campus is expected to drive $500 million in annual economic output and create 3,200 ongoing jobs.
