Economic Impact Studies
These studies illustrate PMGA’s expertise in analyzing potential economic impact of different types of facilities on local and regional economies, customer served, and operations.
Massport Economic Impact Analysis – This Economic Impact Study focused on three facilities:
- Airport Properties (Boston-Logan International Airport and Hanscom Field)
- Port Properties (Maritime Properties of the Authority and the rest of the Port of Boston, Business Development Properties)
- Tobin Memorial Bridge
With the goal of estimating the impact of these facilities on the local economy, PMGA conducted surveys and economic impact modeling for airport properties, business development properties (excluding fish processing facilities), and the Tobin Memorial Bridge.
Airport Economic Impact Analysis – Focusing on both passenger and cargo operations, PMGA’s airport analyses measure impact by industry segment and calculated employment, salaries and total throughput. PMGA also made projections for future impact based on expected growth in airport operations. PMGA’s airport analyses include the use of the RIIMS II Model to estimate the secondary impacts of the activities.
