SunRail Bill has been Signed | Home Prices Will Be Effected

Yesterday at 1:00PM , Governor Charlie Crist, Mayor Buddy Dyer, members of the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission and other elected officials in Downtown Orlando signed and celebrated the passage of a comprehensive statewide rail plan. This legislation will allow for the creation of SunRail, Central Florida’s first commuter rail line, and pave the way for a future statewide rail transportation network.

This landmark legislation is a statewide rail transit program and also sets the stage for Florida to leverage billions of federal dollars to build high speed rail lines, the first of which would connect Orlando to Tampa.  Making it a huge plus for the cities to connect its consumers.

Beyond providing Floridians with desperately needed transportation alternatives, this groundbreaking rail plan will spur the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs at a time when they are desperately needed in our state.

SunRail, specifically, will generate nearly 10,000 jobs almost immediately. Over the next 25 years SunRail will create more than 250,000 jobs and generate more than eight billion dollars ($8,000,000,000) in economic impact.
