The analysis includes (1) a quantitative regional analysis of the earnings, output and employment implications of building the bridges, (2) an assessment of the regional societal benefits of the bridges for the greater Louisville Region, (3) a descriptive analysis of potential effects on the Indiana business environment in the immediate vicinity of the bridges and (4) a fiscal analysis of the needs associated with development stimulated or attracted by the bridge.
