BRAZOS VALLEY EDC SUPPORTS ‘HI SPEED RAIL’
The Brazos Valley Economic Development Foundation is backing a high-speed rail project that would cut through a portion of the Brazos Valley.
Wednesday the organization unanimously approved a letter of support for Texas Central.
The company wants to build a high-speed rail line between Houston and Dallas, which would run through the eastern portion of the Brazos Valley with a stop in Grimes County.
Bryan and College Station city councils and Brazos County commissioners have also approved similar measures backing the project.
Steve Fullhart, the Communications & Engagement Manager for BVEDC, says the rail would provide movement of business leaders, employees, residents, students and tourists to and from our area, making it more attractive to companies who would create jobs.
Grimes County is 100% against the high speed rail. We don’t want it our county or znywhere in Texas.

Ron Frazier, NONE of the rural counties support this boondoggle. It is simply an attempt to confiscate land. I encourage you to review the facts at Texans Against High Speed Rail, on FB & their website.
The govt enties that support TX Central are most likely receiving some type of financial benefit/enticements from TC & not supporting based on the merits. There are no merits.
Is this com I g thru or anywhere near Shiro Tx
Are the Counties such as Grimes members of the Brazos Valley Economic Foundation? Have the Counties approved the rail system, specifically Grimes County?
