At a presentation Tuesday the economic benefits of having a passenger rail station (again) in Springfield were touted by a Maine developer who claims billions of dollars were generated up there.
"I would hesitate to forecast any specific numbers for Ohio, but I can tell you in Maine, we generated $7.2 billion in additional construction with development stimulated by the train,” Martin said. “The train rail line will add another $2.4 billion of development in the state."
Of course he doesn't seem to breakdown development and the actual installation of the line.
Springfield is currently not in the plans for a first stage 3C corridor system.
