CINCINNATI (FOX19) – A proposed interchange on Interstate 71 at Martin Luther King Drive in Uptown would help create 2,000 jobs, according to an economic impact study by the University of Cincinnati Economics Center.

The study found that the interchange construction alone will have a $101 million economic impact. The interchange would also have an economic impact of more than $325 million of private investment, producing an economic impact of more than $460 million in Hamilton County and another $290 million throughout the rest of Ohio.

Fiscal benefits of the MLK interchange and resulting private development include more than $155 million in tax revenue for Ohio, more than $20 million in sales tax revenue for Hamilton County, more than $33 million in earnings tax revenue for Cincinnati, and millions of dollars in property tax revenues.
