STUART, Fla. – Plans for a Brightline train station in Martin County are back on track, after commissioners approve plans. In a meeting on Tuesday, Martin County Commissioners voted unanimously to start negotiations to build the station which would add one more stop between Orlando and Miami-Dade County.

Martin County commissioners have voted unanimously to begin negotiations to lease and apply for federal grants to build the train station.

Upon completion of the station at least eight north and southbound trains will stop in Stuart during the first quarter of service.

After a more than two-hour discussion today, Commissioners voted unanimously to build a train station in the downtown Stuart area.

MARTIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVING A PLAN THAT WILL BRING A BRIGHTLINE STATION TO THE TREASURE COAST. ANGELA ROZIER JOINS US LIVE IN MARTIN COUNTY. ANGELA, TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS DECISION. THAT’S RIGHT.

A Brightline train station is still a possibility on the Treasure Coast. After the city of Stuart voted against it, Brightline went to the Martin County Commission. It could be the light at the end of the tunnel for Brightline and downtown Stuart as the Martin County Commission votes on a train station Tuesday.
