THE ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACTS OF ALTERNATIVE BUILDOUTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
Perform an economic and fiscal impact analysis of future, hypothetical land development and buildout scenarios for two conceptual Interstate 84/Route 8 (I 84/Rt. 8) interchange “Build” configurations.
INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
To provide CONNDOT and the City of Waterbury with information to help select a preferred highway configuration concept for further consideration.
INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
Assume the interchange will have to be rebuilt at some future date, that the rebuild will improve the geometry of the interchange that will in turn improve safety and bring either configuration in line with national standards of highway design.
INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
Identify properties that are expected to be taken in whole or in part under each highway alternative “Build” concept and the property tax and employment consequences of the takings to the City of Waterbury.

INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION Assume office buildings, residential structures, and parking garage(s) are three stories high (except the medical office building that is two stories high and the parking garage(s) that would have two levels below grade). These assumptions are easily changed as the land buildout analysis is parametric.
Using estimates for per square foot construction costs of these building types from R.S. Means [1] , we estimate total construction costs. Using average sales per square foot for retail from the Urban Land Institute sectors. [2] , we obtain aggregate retail sales for the relevant development scenarios, and, using 387 square feet per office worker [3] , we obtain employment in the ‘Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services’ (NAICS 54) and ‘Administrative and Support Services’ (NAICS 561) [split 50/50] We use 1,700 square feet per worker in the warehousing/distribution establishments (see footnote 3).

Of the total land available, we assume 75% contains structures (that is, 75% is buildable land); the remainder contains roads, walkways, greenery, emergency and handicapped parking and load zones.
All utilities are underground.

Scenario 2: Warehouse/distribution establishments, office space and parking east of the River area such that: Warehouse/distribution establishments occupy 26% of buildable land; The office space (footprint) occupies 65% of developable land such that: There are several 3-story buildings; A 1st floor consisting of 2/3 retail space, 1/3 restaurant, with gross sales obtained from sales per square foot estimates (see footnote 5); and The 2nd and 3rd floors house office space.
Parking occupies 9% of buildable land such that we have: One or more 5-level parking garages; and, Each parking space is 350 square feet including driveways and access lanes, [1] yielding 1,500 spaces.

INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
Alternative 6-8
Scenario 1: Residential structures occupy 50% of the west of River buildable area such that: The average residential unit size is 1,500 square feet; Residents increase by 20% each year for 5 years; The median household income of new tenants (that is, renters) in 2030 is $95,000; this is equivalent to an annual household income of $50,000 in 2008, with an annual inflation rate of 3%.
We assume the rental rate is $1.50 per square foot in 2006 dollars. This is based on Waterbury listings at www.condo.com
., which range from $0.93 per square foot to $1.88 per square foot, with studios accounting for all of the higher per square foot rate listings. The average rate of these listings is $1.27 per square foot. Our higher assumed rate reflects the more up-scale residential units we envision for this area in Waterbury. For comparison, the average rent per square foot in the new Trumbull on-the-Park residential complex in Hartford is $1.95 (based on 2007 Tenant Profile data provided by the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, or CHFA).
Consumers spend 65% of their income; expenditures in each consumer expenditure category follow the average consumption pattern predicted by REMI (See Appendix B) for the period 2006-2050.
Scenario 2: Warehouse/distribution structures occupy 70% of the west of River buildable area.
INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION Each Scenario: Types of Buildings for east of River buildable area: Office space (footprint) occupies 69% of buildable land such that we have: Several 3-story buildings; A 1st floor consisting of 2/3 retail space, 1/3 restaurant, with sales obtained from sales per square foot estimates (see footnote 5); and, The 2nd and 3rd floors house office space.
A parking footprint occupying 20% of buildable land such that we have: One or more 5-level parking garages; and, 1,820 parking spaces of 350 square feet each including driveways and access lanes, and A two-story medical office building occupying 11% of the buildable land.
INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION A general rule to estimate FF&E expenses when detailed cost data is not available is to estimate them as a fraction of total construction costs. A common range is 8%-15% of construction costs.
[4] We assume FF&E expenses at 8% of total construction costs for the warehouse/distribution establishments; 10% for office, retail and restaurant; and 15% for the medical office building. We assume businesses purchase FF&E wholesale; therefore 40% of gross FF&E purchases affect Connecticut’s economy as we assume such goods as machines, forklifts, computers, and office furniture are not manufactured in the state. FF&E purchases occur in 2029 the final year of construction.

INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION The proposed ITC location is adjacent to the existing train station, on Meadow Street, between Freight Street and I-84. The objectives of a new transportation center are to: Ease automotive and pedestrian congestion in downtown Waterbury; Restore the Waterbury Green to its original civic function; Consolidate modes of transportation into one transportation center; Increase safety and convenience of transit patrons and service providers; Encourage transit ridership; Support economic development; and, Stimulate economic redevelopment.

Modeling the ITC
The ITC increases access to labor and commodities (intermediate inputs) in the region (New Haven County). This reduces costs to producers and workers in the region and enhances the attractiveness of the region as a place to work and as a place to do business. The ITC through its highway and rail connection through New Haven to New York City and points west and to Boston and points east, enhances Waterbury’s competitiveness as regional producer of goods and services and as a place to live. We assume the ITC creates an additional 1,500 jobs in New Haven County because of improved access in the warehouse/distribution (NAICS 484 and 493), professional services (NAICS 54) and administrative and support services (NAICS 561) sectors. These jobs are in addition to the direct jobs created in each land buildout scenario. We model this effect as a percent change in the labor access index for each industry mentioned above.
INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
Modeling Transportation Network Changes
The changes in highway geometry & the locations and types of access and egress theoretically improve network throughput as the changes may increase average speed and the number of trips the region originates and for which it serves as a destination. Geometry changes also improve safety by straightening curves, eliminating left entrances and exits and reducing the number of entrances and exits per unit distance. Transportation engineers model the effects of the physical changes in terms of changes in average speed and the number of trips for cars and trucks in a transportation demand framework that usually consists of a four-step process.
These changes relative to a baseline or no-build forecast form the basis for changes in commuter costs (cars), transportation costs (trucks) and an improvement in accessibility (increased trip counts from and to the region). These transportation network changes in turn increase the attractiveness of the region for economic development independent of explicit development. Changes in the road network reduce transportation costs and increase the chances for agglomeration effects to unfold as related firms collocate to improve productivity.

INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
‘Moral hazard’ is the psychological response to safety improvements such as seat belts, air bags, and insurance among other things. Some people increase their recklessness because they think they have increased protection from injury or reduced risk of large liability. We cannot quantify this effect or the effect of the safety improvements precisely from either highway reconfiguration. Notwithstanding, we assume that the number of accidents in the categories of property damage only, bodily injury and fatalities in the I-84/Route 8 Interchange declines by net 25% due to the geometry improvements.
The reduction in each accident type reduces New Haven County’s total accidents slightly per million vehicle miles traveled.
[7] [7] Vehicle miles traveled or VMT is the product of the number vehicles (traffic volume) and the length of the road network. In this case, the road network does not increase in length, but volume increases slightly due to the geometry improvements.
INTERSTATE 84/ROUTE 8 INTERCHANGE RECONFIGURATION
In addition to safety improvements, we assume that the cost of time (the opportunity cost of waiting in traffic) and the nominal cost of accidents rise at the 50-year historic rate of inflation (3%).
[8] We assume that the nominal cost of fuel inflates at the 30-year historic rate of 5.7%.
[9] For each factor’s rate in millions of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) (accident counts, accident costs, value of time, and fuel cost), the change in each factor’s total cost results from the product of the change in vehicle miles traveled from the no-build highway alternative to Alternatives 6-7 and 6-8 and their corresponding rates. These changes in total factor costs translate to changes in fuel costs, consumption spending allocation and amenity or quality of life in the REMI model of the Connecticut economy.
[10] [8] [9] REMI assumes no change in nominal costs for these factors over its entire analysis time horizon (2006-2050).
Based on Energy Information Administration data for U.S. gas prices at the pump 1976-2006. See www.eia.doe.gov. [10] Appendix D references several state DOT transportation studies executed using REMI.

Because the CONNDOT transportation demand model (TDM) and the economic analysis model (REMI) are not directly connected, DECD takes initial TDM results (that is, without land developments) and produces a REMI forecast of the Connecticut economy for each buildout scenario.
The results of this analysis produce employment and population forecasts based on the new economic activity. DECD maps these forecasts into ‘traffic analysis zones’ (TAZs) for subsequent TDM analysis. The next round of TDM results drives REMI to produce new employment and population forecasts for each TAZ and another round of TDM results that in turn produces the converged transportation and economic results we seek. Three rounds do in fact produce convergence between the TDM and the economic model.

REMI Modeling Strategies
Concept of
net new
visitors, workers, sales, etc.
Understand variables available to model phenomenon Nullification variables Exception variables (e.g., sales—use GM, not sales revenue) Final industry demand vs final industry sales Industry employment/sales vs firm employment/sales Wage rate/bill and productivity adjustments Fiscal tables provide means to understand budget imbalance as a result of state & local incentives or bond issues But compare state expenditures with GDP components: GDP components omit transfer pmts.
