It seems as though maybe NCRA should have had operating agreement in place before spending my tax dollars. As much as I would like to see trains running here in my neighborhood again, this whole thing seems to be a waste of a lot of peoples time and more importantly our money ! This has been going on for way too long now with probably well over a dozen startup dates announced and not one revenue dollar brought in. Maybe our great state could use some of this money for education, you know my two sons weren't offered any "shop" classes in high school, maybe my grandsons could take wood or auto shop if we just cut out the NCRA deal !
