From our friends at ColoRail:
Fall meeting coming up Sept. 17
We recently have seen some dramatic progress toward improved passenger rail. The U.S. Senate’s infrastructure bill would devote $66 billion toward Amtrak and some of that money could go toward Colorado’s Front Range rail project. At the state level, our legislature has established the Front Range Rail District, a legal entity that will plan the project and eventually refer to voters a referendum to fund construction.
You can learn more and help us succeed by attending ColoRail’s 2021 Fall Meeting on Friday, Sept. 17, at 12:00pm to 2:00pm. We had hoped to employ a hybrid meeting format, with both Zoom conferencing and in-person attendance. But with continuing COVID concerns, the board of directors has decided to hold the meeting online only.
We ask that participants pre-register. After registration, you will receive information on attending the Zoom meeting. Please sign up at: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtdOygqTIvHNaISIl8GkVyxt2ufb8iY94a
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
