Report: State Says CSX Hub Must Go Through Regional Review

I am trying to get a hold of the letter myself, but The Ledger is reporting this morning that the state had changed its mind and decided that the CSX rail hub planned for southeast Winter Haven will go through a full regional review, which will likely delay the project for at least two years.

If you’ve been following the reporting on this at all, you’ll know that this is a big deal, with implications far beyond one project in Winter Haven. Here’s a Tribune story that ran a couple of months ago giving some detailed background on the project and its approval process and another story that ran Tuesday illustrating how the CSX project and others play into Polk’s regional tensions.

As I learn more, I’ll update during the day.
