Martin Associates was retained by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) to estimate the economic impacts of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System on 16 representative U.S. port communities throughout the eight states bordering the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System. The impacts were measured for activity at both public facilities and private facilities at each of the 16 U.S. ports. Also, the impacts were estimated for all cargo moving via each of the ports, including trans-lake and interlake cargo, as well as cargo moving through the St. Lawrence Seaway. Although a study of the economic impacts in Canada was beyond the scope of this study, industry located along the Canadian portion of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System represents a significant portion of total Canadian industrial output. |
