CCM'S QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ECONOMICS OF MSTI
CCM submitted primary questions about the economics of MSTI to the MSTI Review Project on 1/19/2012. Our main questions are:
1. What is the impact of MSTI's costs on the economic well-being of Montana's residents, workers, and businesses?
2. What is the total cost throughout the MSTI-impacted region in uncompensated economic damages to residents?
3. How will the addition of subsequent high-voltage transmission lines and upgrades along the new corridor affect the economic well-being of residents in the future?
