regional impact
Area-wide consequences felt
Regional impact refers to effects that extend across a geographic area rather than staying local or going national.
The phrase appears in policy discussions, environmental assessments, and economic reports: The factory closure had significant regional impact on employment.
A regional impact may cross municipal or state boundaries while remaining concentrated in a particular part of a country.
