• Abstract:
  Highway construction projects not only impact the traveling public, but can also impact businesses situated adjacent to the construction project. Even ; though construction projects are temporary situations, many businesses worry about the level of impact during construction and the length and magnitude ; of the associated recovery period. Highway construction impacts on businesses may come in the form of a temporary loss of customers, revenue, and ; property value as well as the creation of noise and air pollution and a host of other problems. Phases I and II of the business impacts study attempted to ; quantify the estimated business impacts for rural areas such as Wyoming. The intent of Phase III is to investigate the business-related impacts in the town ; of Dubois, Wyoming due to four highway construction projects on Togwotee Pass scheduled for completion over seven years. The main objective of the ; research effort is to address the concerns of the business owners and to measure the effectiveness of mitigation and public involvement techniques ; undertaken by WYDOT, business owners, and the community. Research on the relationship between highway construction projects and business impacts ; in Dubious will provide WYDOT’s project managers the information on what types of businesses benefit from various mitigation and public involvement ; efforts.
