Trans
Texas Corridor
The Texas
Department of Transportation commissioned an independent economic impact study
and based on the conclusion, the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) will have a
significant positive effect on the
Texas
economy and improve the competitive position of the state in the national and
international marketplace. The extensive report shows that over the next 25
years, the economic stimulus of the TTC-35 project is conservatively estimated
at $1.4 trillion (in 2005 dollars), with 14.8 million person-years of
employment. At the project’s maturity, TTC-35 will generate approximately $6.9
billion per year of additional state revenue. TTC-69, too, offers a yearly
revenue enhancement to the state of about $3.2 billion. Click on www.keeptexasmoving.com
