SunRail Lobbying Continues

Click title for story link. Backers of the planned SunRail commuter train that would run through Central Florida sent a letter to state Senate President Jeff Atwater Monday extolling the virtues of the $1.2 billion project. Signed by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty -- among others -- the two-page letter touts the anticipated economic benefits of the train, which would run along 61.5 miles of track from DeLand in Volusia County through downtown Orlando to Poinciana in Osceola County.
