Commissioners approve resolution opposing All Aboard Florida

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — County Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve a new resolution opposing the All Aboard Florida project.

According to County Attorney Dylan Reingold, the resolution primarily addresses three major concerns of the County to the high-speed rail project.

The three major concerns include safety, subsidy, and a lease agreement that would allow elected officials representing the interests of Central Florida to dictate future railroad stops in Indian River County.

According to official documents, the resolution will be provided to Governor Rick Scott, Florida State Senators Thad Altman and Joe Negron, Florida State Representatives Debbie Mayfield and Gayle B. Harrell, the Federal Railroad Administration, United States Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson, United States Representatives Bill Posey and Patrick Murphy, and FDOT Secretary Ananth Prasad.
