Economic Impact of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway on the States It Serves

项目名称：	Economic Impact of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway on the States It Serves
摘要：	The project team is proposing to research the economic impact of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) on the 5 states it serves (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida). In many respects, it will be similar to a recent study sponsored by the National Waterways Foundation for the entire inland waterway system. This analysis will focus on the economic importance of the GIWW to the various states and assume only sufficient investment to maintain current system performance. The underlying methodology will evaluate what an abandonment (or closure) of the canal would mean in terms of economic impact. It will compare the transportation and related supply-chain costs faced by current waterway users to the costs they would face if the GIWW were to become permanently unavailable and they had to use the next best transportation alternative.
