The Johnson County Gateway Study area is identified as the area bound by 95th Street, Quivira Road, College Boulevard and Renner Boulevard. This approximately 6 square mile area has some fairly significant development which could be impacted by potential modifications to the access to the freeway system. We have determined that generally within this area (some of the data tracts do not exactly follow those boundaries) there is the following:
• Approximately 1,280 businesses with 30,400 jobs.
• Approximately 4,967 households with 11,630 residents living in those households.
• Approximate tax revenue = $250 Million per year. This tax revenue includes an estimate of federal and state income taxes for all employees in the areas plus the property tax. This estimate of taxes paid does not include sales tax paid by employees, sales tax collected by businesses, personal properly tax, income tax paid by the business or income tax paid by the residents that live in the area.
Improving transportation on the highways in and through this area is critical to the local, regional and state economy.
