Book The Great Lakes Economy

Download or read book The Great Lakes Economy written by Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and published by Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. This book was released on 1991 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Great Lakes Commission conceived and produced a statistical compendium of the Great Lakes region entitled "The Great Lakes Economy: A Resource and Industry Profile of the Great Lakes States". The present document represents a culmination of several years' research which updates and eclipses its predecessor in several important ways. The volume provides analysts of the region the opportunity to interpret the facts surrounding the region's endowments, performance, and changes. In doing so, several authors have chosen to look beyond the states themselves to the closely-linked Canadian portion of the Great Lakes region. Resource and industry trends and performance are still addressed in full but the linkages among the region's resources, people, and industries are also brought to the fore.

Book The Great Lakes of the United States  National Security and the Budget

Download or read book The Great Lakes of the United States National Security and the Budget written by Mike Fulford and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years, the civil works general construction account has declined from a high of approximately $4 billion in 1960 to $1.4 billion in 2005. One result of this is a construction backlog of approximately 500 active and authorized water resource projects with an estimated completion cost of $44 billion. The President's FY 2005 budget provides civil works discretionary funding of $4.2 billion which includes $1.4 billion for construction. For FY 2002 through FY 2003, the total civil works appropriation averaged $4.6 billion. For FY 2005, this equates to 10% less purchasing power compared to FY 2003; this figure is not indexed for inflation. Because of this, the infrastructure and navigation features that enable and facilitate the transport of goods and services on the Great Lakes is literally falling apart or is woefully inadequate to meet the demands of the 21st Century global business environment. The lack of adequate congressionally appropriated funds for the last 20 years to support maintenance and repair, and replacement of antiquated facilities and structures is impacting the flow of commerce on the Great Lakes; specifically Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron. For fiscal year 2005 and beyond, this brings into question whether or not the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) can continue to adequately maintain federally mandated programs (dredging, structures, navigation features) to make certain that.shipping companies will continue to transport cargo efficiently amongst Great Lakes harbors and ports, and out to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. This Strategy Research Project (SRP) will examine in detail the linkage between national security, economic security, and the budget for Civil Works as appropriated by the Congress of the USA. This SRP will outline and highlight the historical perspective on the budget; the mission of the USACE as the congressionally appointed federal agency responsible for maintaining facilities, structures and programs on the Great Lakes; the economic impact of the shipping industry on the region; and the national security impact of the loss of critical infrastructure and the subsequent effect on the economic health of the region.
