Abstract:

This study is a follow up study and was initiated prior to actual construction so that the construction period could be monitored and the economic impacts of the before and after construction periods could be estimated. The following impacts were studied: (1) impact on abutting businesses and properties, (2) impact on reduction of available parking, (3) impact on motorists using the highway, and (4) impact of construction expenditures on the local urban area or city. This study produced some very interesting and hopefully useful findings. These findings are also compared with those of the preliminary study and summarized in this report. Even though some negative impacts were found, especially during the construction period, widening this section of U.S. Highway 80 produced overall positive results on the abutting businesses and the City of Longview.
