A long-planned commuter rail line between Atlanta and Macon will get $25 million in new funding this week, with most of the money going toward real estate for train stations and to improve road crossings.
The rail investments surprised some because Gov. Perdue had backed off his predecessor’s vision for commuter rail lines as a fix to Atlanta’s traffic problems.
The announcement suggests that plans for a passenger-rail connection between Macon and Atlanta are not dead, as had been speculated earlier this year.
The town of Hampton, which sits mid-way between Macon and Atlanta, represents an excellent opportunity for transit oriented real estate investment. Visit www.burkesisco.com for currently available "Rail" Estate.
