Port Huron Passenger Rail Station - Notice of Public Hearings: The Blue Water Area Transit Commission (BWATC) received a federal grant to evaluate the existing passenger rail station and other potential locations within Port Huron and near the city's boundaries. It is important to note that this project is a Pre-Feasibility Study which will precede any formal environmental process or NEPA process. The goal for this phase is to identify potential options for site location(s) and determine what requirements may exist for a new or rehabilitated station. This process seeks to include input from the community. BWATC has no predetermined preference on which site(s) are feasible. This study seeks to identify possible options for further study during a formal environmental process.
In an effort to get the community's input, we will be hosting two public hearings in Port Huron. These hearings will be held in the auditorium at the St. Clair County building located at 200 Grand River, Port Huron. The public hearings are scheduled on the following days/times to provide the optimum public access to provide input on the project.
Those dates/times are:
Thursday, October 19 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Thursday, October 26 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Anyone interested in participating in any of these public meetings are welcome. The meetings will begin with a brief presentation followed by discussion and input from the public. Please feel free to share this notice with your respective organizations and their members.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email them to: Ron DeCook at: ron.decook@decook-gps.com
