(2007)1 Refer to Table 5-5 for a list of new and planned projects, according to the City of Warwick Planning Department (correspondence dated February 2011).2 Includes the planned Warwick Station Redevelopment District.Based on historical trends expressed in constant 2010 dollars, the property tax levy of the City of Warwick isprojected to be $239.9 million in 2020 and $260.1 million in 2025. The nearly 1.5 million square feet of newlyapproved and permitted commercial development (excluding projects that have already been constructed, asidentified in Table 5-5, and are captured in the 2010 property tax levy) in the City of Warwick (including theWSRD) is expected to generate more than $7 million annually in property taxes after full development based oncurrent tax rates, property values, and construction costs.Economic Impacts of the Alternatives B2 and B4Alternative B2 is likely to displace 39 industrial jobs, while Alternative B4 is likely to displace 14 jobs inmanufacturing and warehousing. From 1980 through 2005, the City lost an average of 229 manufacturing jobs peryear. However, most recently from 2002, the rate of loss has been 80 manufacturing jobs per year. Even thoughAlternatives B2 and B4 are expected to generate some manufacturing-related jobs, these new jobs would not bereplace the displaced jobs due to differences in type of manufacturing, technology, time lag in construction, and theprojected growth in aviation activity due to the Improvement Program. State-wide, by 2025, Alternatives B2 and B4are expected to generate approximately 1,967 new employment opportunities of various types.As presented in Table 5-62 the current amount of retail, office, and hotel space approved and or permitted fordevelopment in the WSRD and in other parts of the City of Warwick greatly exceeds the amount of space expectedto be displaced by Alternatives B2 and B4. However, these planned and proposed projects do not address thespace needed for displaced industrial and warehousing businesses and jobs. Depending on the type and amountof space each individual firm requires, these users are more likely to relocate outside of the City of Warwick.Table 5-62Maximum Potential Cumulative Job Impacts due to Construction-Related Acquisitions(Mandatory) by Alternative B2 and B4Direct Job Displacement (losses)Potentially SuitableManufacturing and Warehousing Jobs for Approved and Permitted Development 1Alternative B2 39 286Alternative B4 14 511 Represents the total number of jobs shown below minus the most threatened jobs.Chapter 5 - Environmental Consequences 5-104 July 2011\\mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH05_Environmental_Cons_JUL_2011.doc
T.F. Green Airport Improvement ProgramEnvironmental Impact Statement and Final Section 4(f) EvaluationIf all the jobs displaced by Alternative B2 and Alternative B4 were relocated in these new facilities, they wouldaccount for 13 percent and three percent, respectively, of the available capacity. The approved and permittedspace would not be suitable for manufacturers and other industrial users, such as construction workers.However, there would be temporary construction jobs generated by the construction of the AirportImprovement Program projects beginning in 2012 through 2020 (refer to Section 5.5.4.4, Short-Term ConstructionImpacts). In addition, the new development would provide capacity for new off-Airport jobs generated by theincrease of aviation activity due to Alternatives B2 and B4, as well as jobs that would be generated fromemployment growth forecast under the No-Action Alternative.The approximately $7 million annually in property taxes after full development of the new and plannedcommercial developments (based on current tax rates, property values, and construction costs) would offset theannual commercial property taxes lost to the City of Warwick as a result of Alternative B2 ($679,108 forcommercial property acquisitions) and Alternative B4 ($155,665 for commercial property acquisitions).Social and Housing Cumulative ImpactsThis section describes the social and housing cumulative impacts based on historical social impact trends,foreseeable future development as well as the potential social and housing impacts associated with AlternativesB2 and B4 for the neighborhoods surrounding the Airport, including:• Spring Green, northeast;• Hoxsie, including Lakeview Terrace (which abuts the eastern edge of the Airport) and Strawberry Field(which abuts the southeast edge of the Airport), east of the Airport;• Wildes Corner and Kettle Corner, southeast and far southeast, respectively;• Greenwood, including Greenwood Park, south;• Apponaug, southwest;• Hillsgrove, including Oak Grove (which abuts the southwestern edge of the Airport), west;• Lincoln Park, northwest; and• Norwood, north.Historical Social and Housing TrendsHistorically, the majority of Airport-related development projects have impacted the Hillsgrove, Hoxie,Strawberry Field, and Greenwood and Greenwood Park neighborhoods west, east, and south of the Airport,respectively – most of which were predominantly residential. Over time, land surrounding the Airport has beendeveloped as commercial and retail uses, or has been acquired and converted into Airport property.Future Social and Housing TrendsIn the future, it is anticipated that commercial and industrial development would likely continue in the vicinityof the Airport, specifically in the Jefferson Boulevard corridor and the Airport Park area as well as alongChapter 5 - Environmental Consequences 5-105 July 2011\\mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH05_Environmental_Cons_JUL_2011.doc
