Summary
A study by AECOM found that a Western Virginia intermodal facility can operate profitably under certain conditions, providing greater public benefits than costs to the region. The facility is expected to create jobs and attract new businesses, but its construction will require significant public funding. The study suggests that a phased approach and a smaller facility footprint could reduce initial capital costs.
