Study Sees Big Financial Benefits For CT and MA From Improved Passenger Rail Lines

3:16 A report released this week by two regional planning agencies makes a business case for proposed passenger rail improvements in Massachusetts and Connecticut. An analysis projects that by making upgrades to the Hartford Line and building east-west rail in Massachusetts, the metro Hartford-Springfield area would gain 20,000-40,000 professional jobs over 30 years with a corresponding growth in economic output of $47 billion-$84 billion. Even at the highest estimated cost for the rail projects $9 billion – it would be a 10 -1 return on investment, said Kim Robinson, executive director of the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission. It is clear the time to re-establish robust passenger rail is now, Robinson said.

Planners promise 10-to-1 payback with $6 4B to $9 4B Hartford-Springfield-Boston rail proposal

Planners promise 10-to-1 payback with $6.4B to $9.4B Hartford-Springfield-Boston rail proposal Updated May 06, 2021; Facebook Share SPRINGFIELD The Springfield/Hartford area has missed out on 130,000 new jobs since 1990, jobs that could have come here if the region had the commuter rail service enjoyed by other East Coast cities. “That’s the major differentiating factor, the availability of rail,” said Jessica Jones, senior analyst for the engineering firm AECOM. Improving rail service from New York City to Boston through Hartford, Springfield and Worcester could cost $6.4 billion to $9.4 billion over a 10-year-buildout. But that expenditure would yield $47 billion to $84 billion in new gross regional product over 30 years, according to a study AECOM prepared for Connecticut’s Capital Region Council of Governments and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission in Springfield.

Three measures seek to promote regional sharing, cost savings

By Tom Condon, CT Mirror Connecticut’s heavy reliance on local property taxes is a millstone around the state’s neck, critics have long asserted. They say high property taxes are a drag on business, promote sprawl and bad land use and penalize land-poor municipalities. A number of people believe this burden can be significantly reduced by sharing municipal services on a regional basis. Three measures are afoot that could encourage more regional services. One is a bill before the General Assembly that would revive a dormant grant program to provide funds for regional services provided either by the state’s nine councils of governments (COGs) or six regional education service centers (RESCs). It’s one of two proposed bills aimed at promoting shared services.
