Florida TaxWatch Study Finds Intermodals Help State's Economy

Florida TaxWatch released a study on Tuesday looking at the important role intermodal centers play in developing the Sunshine States economy.

"Florida is uniquely poised to move goods more efficiently than our neighboring states and other competitors," said Dominic Calabro, the president and CEO of Florida TaxWatch. "Expanding Florida's intermodal points will allow the state to more efficiently transfer goods and even people between seas, roads, rails, air, and space."

"Recent additions of new and improved intermodal centers will have a great economic impact on Florida's economy and consumers," said Jerry Parrish, Florida TaxWatchs chief economist. "The centers will add to Florida's economy by providing high-wage jobs to Floridians, while also reducing the cost of goods purchased by Florida consumers."
