“Gem Public Sector Services concludes that construction of high-speed passenger rail is economically feasible and justifiable assuming an 80% federal construction match.  By feasible, we believe the economic benefits justify the investment and the project will not be a burden on the State biennial budget.  This conclusion is consistent with the analysis of TEMS.  Accordingly, Gem Public Sector Services recommends that ORDC move forward to the next stage of determining the feasibility of implementing this project.”   Ohio Hub Economic Impact Study, GEM Public Sector Services, Dayton Ohio, 2007
