Nelson and Castor on Light Rail

Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Kathy Castor spoke at USF about light rail. Nelson wants the Florida Department to handle management over light rail construction. Nelson warns against mismanagement that could cause delays. Castor stumps that many Florida contractors would get jobs on the light rail project.





Nazih Haddad, Chief Operating Officer for Florida Rail Enterprise said the light rail line would (likely) extend Downtown Tampa to the Orlando International Airport. The Tampa International Airport makes more sense than downtown. The City of Tampa has been trying to get light rail to TIA. There has been no clear word on if that will happen. Stay tuned.
