Central Florida's planned high-speed train could create an economic boon worth billions of dollars for the region, according to a study sponsored by an international conglomerate that will bid on building the system, according to an Orlando Sentinel report by Dan Tracy.
    Up to 27,500 jobs would be created and nearly $3 billion worth of new business would occur annually in Orlando if the city is linked with Tampa to the west and Miami to the south by the year 2035, the analysis says. The surrounding area could pick up $1.7 billion each year in economic activity, as well.
     The report, paid for by Siemens, will be released today during a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in Oklahoma City. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer will be there and speak about his city's successful efforts to win a high-speed train.
