Estimated Economic Impact of Widening U.S. Highway 80 (Marshall Avenue) in Longview, Texas
The study is designed to determine the economic impact of widening a highway located in an urban area where the predominant abutting land use is strip commercial. A 6.7 mile section of a U.S. Highway 80 in Longview, Texas, a city with a population of 70,311 in 1990, was selected for study. Prior to construction, a preliminary study was conducted to estimate the economic effects of the proposed widening on abutting businesses and the City of Longview. The 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 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.
