Synopsis
This is a comprehensive analysis of the St. Lawrence Seaway and New York State-Ontario Power Project, from the Niagara Frontier Planning Board.
This report explains why the board commissioned it and what wide-ranging data and government reports were used to form its conclusions. It is written to show how a major cross-border project could affect transportation, industry, and taxpayers across the United States and Canada.
- Discover the major findings: the combined seaway and power scheme is described as unsound when viewed as a single undertaking.
- See cost discussions, including comparisons to other large projects and the risk that actual costs could exceed estimates.
- Learn how the study analyzes potential effects on American labor, ports, and regional industries, and where benefits might be limited.
- Understand the role of ice conditions, seasonal limitations, and international coordination in shaping the project’s viability.
Ideal for readers interested in policy analysis, infrastructure planning, and economic assessments of large public works.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a decisive and critical analysis of a widely debated political project: the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project. Uniting multiple perspectives, it features reports from diverse commissions, government departments, and both the US and Canadian governments. The author also corroborates information using original analyses of project costs, economic and political effects. The book highlights the enormous costs of the project, the majority of which would be borne by American taxpayers who would not benefit from it. The author also explores how American labor, transportation, and industry would lose millions of dollars annually due to the diversion of business to foreign carriers and the loss of Canadian export grain movement. It concludes that while certain special interests might benefit from the project, its nation-wide effects would far exceed any potential benefits. The insights in this book expose the economic fallacy of the project and serve as a crucial resource for understanding its broader implications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
