NEWS ALERT!-Boone County Board meeting status in regards to the Great Lakes Basin Railroad.
This is a brief summary from tonight's meeting.
The Boone County Board tonight stated it is seeking comments and facts from Boone County residents in regards to the Great Lakes Basin Railroad (GBLR). If you spoke at the Surface Transportation Board meeting on April 19 and have something in writing please submit it to the county board. Any and all information regarding the GLBR should be submitted as soon as possible to Boone County Board members.
