Construction of the hyperloop would create hundreds of thousands of jobs and could bring resources to small towns across the region.
“We believe it can be financed by private industry so that you and I aren't paying for it in 20 years, 30 years,” Rob Miller, of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, said.
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is one of a handful of companies developing hyperloop technology.
Another proposed hyperloop, Hyperloop One, would connect Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Chicago.
