摘要: |
The purpose of this study is to update a 1989 study of the economic impact of the Gulf Intracoastal Watersay System in Texas. The study uses a variety of factors to determine the current impact of the GIWW on Texas including cargo value of domestic goods, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway maintenance dredging, water transportation/services revenue.
In addition, the ramifications and economic impact of a possible extension of the GIWW into Mexico is presented.
This study is being continued under the auspices of a new sponsor, the Texas Waterway Operators Association. The second part involves a more in-depth review of the economic impact that the barge industry has on Texas, particularly as related to industries that are heavily dependent on low-cost transportation for bulk commodities.
