48,000
Quality Jobs
From 2023 to 2037, the construction phase is projected to create 48,000 direct and indirect jobs paying an average of $65,000 per year. Once the site becomes operational, we expect it to continue to support 6,300 new jobs.
$3.1 Billion in
Labor Income
Both the new jobs in construction and the additional activity generated by improved connectivity will add up to 3.1 billion dollars in revenue. This figure includes benefits and other compensation, eventually generating more than $10 billion in local economic activity.
$158 Million in
Sales Taxes
There is a projected $158 Million in sales tax revenue over the duration of construction for the state of Maryland.
“This study demonstrates the broad benefits [the project] will bring to [the community], from thousands of high-paying jobs for county residents to significant tax revenues that help fund local schools and public safety”
