THE FUTURE OF HVN
CREATING JOBS AND GROWING LOCAL ECONOMIES
A recent study from UConn’s Center for Economic Analysis underscored the economic benefit of The NewHVN. UCONN researchers project that expansion will result in a total jobs impact of 2,281 in 2026 and 5,187 by 2060. Approximately $100 million in construction impact by 2030, part of $277 million in total construction by 2060. By 2027 HVN will generate $444 million in economic impact to the state of Connecticut, with $368 million of impact in NewHaven County specifically. The project will be undertaken with a Project Labor Agreement that will provide union jobs, while ensuring local hiring and launching critical apprenticeship programs.
IMPROVING INFRASTRUCTURE
Providing updated infrastructure to meet passenger demand, including a new state of the art carbon neutral terminal, new and sufficient parking offerings, historic commitments to community engagement around sound protection and tens of millions of dollars of investment in noise mitigation, and a prioritization of compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods with smart design that routes traffic through commercial and industrial corridors rather than neighborhood streets.
PRIORITIZING SAFETY
Providing best in class safety and security compliance through proactive risk management, continuity procedures, and collaborative stakeholder coordination.
Investments made as part of expansion will include additional funding for key essential law enforcement and first responders as well as expanded capacity for local emergency management infrastructure.
IMPROVING THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE
Implementing new procedures paired with innovative technologies to ensure an unrivaled end-to-end passenger experience to and from the destinations we currently serve. The expansion will allow expanded, affordable service to exiting new destinations as well.
