Summary
A new El Paso Chamber-funded study warns that ending commercial traffic on the Bridge of Americas could cost the region $2.3 billion in lost economic output and 9,500 jobs, while also slashing $213 million in tax revenue and triggering a surge in emissions and logistics costs.

Veronica Escobar says the decision is final—now it’s time to prep other ports and innovate for the future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
