Buckeye Logistics Transportation Center is planning to stretch nearly11, 000 acres near Arizona 85 and old highway 80, along union pacific Railroad corridor. Due to this there could be an increase in employment and the tax base. This project would generate employment to nearly 17,000 people. As the project moves forward there would be an increase in the number of jobs. As the fuel prices are on a rise, people prefer traveling from rail. So if this rail route is extended, more people will be able to travel at a lower cost. Rail freight is much cheaper than trucking freight. Only 6000 people used to live in 2000, but this has increased to 40,000 people. Due to this, there has been a rapid housing growth but employment has not grown at the same rate. Most jobs would be at or above the state's median income of $17 an hour. The jobs may include dock workers to haulers, account managers to executives in every sector.
