What could completing Future Interstate 27 and the broader Ports-to-Plains corridor mean for trade, jobs, and regional economic growth? Join REMI and the Ports-to-Plains Alliance for a webinar examining the economic potential of a strategic north-south Interstate connection linking America’s agricultural, energy, and manufacturing regions with markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This webinar will take place on Thursday, November 19th from 2:00-3:00pm ET. Register here.
Using Future I-27 and the nine-state Ports-to-Plains corridor as a case study, the webinar will explore both the near-term impacts of construction and the lasting economic effects of improved transportation access and mobility. The analysis projects $36.67 billion in additional annual economic output and 59,057 additional jobs in 2080 from improved mobility across the nine-state region, separate from construction impacts.
This webinar will explore both the near-term impacts of construction and the long-term effects of improved transportation access and mobility. Using REMI, we will examine how changes in transportation costs, trade flows, and production costs ripple through regional economies, influencing employment, gross domestic product, and fiscal revenues over time.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how REMI models capture the economic effects of major transportation investments and how these results can inform infrastructure planning and policy decisions.
