The County of Mendocino currently operates at an annual deficit.

Mendocino Crossings will generate approximately $1.8 million per year in additional sales taxes for the County General Fund to support needed public services and $350,000 per year in property taxes split between the County General Fund and the County Redevelopment Agency.

Also, the project will create an estimated 700 new jobs at various wage levels plus potentially several hundred additional jobs during construction.

In a 2007 study, Applied Development Economics concluded that in 2006 Mendocino County residents spent more than $169,400,000 in retail stores outside Mendocino County .  Sales outside the county are projected to be $371,805,820 by 2026. Mendocino Crossings has the potential to capture these sales along with additional sales from southern Humboldt, northern Sonoma , and Lake Counties .

Mendocino Crossings will allow County residents to shop locally instead of at regional centers in Santa Rosa and Marin County .
