Meeting to be held in Warsaw about proposed passenger rail line

A meeting will be held in Warsaw next week to discuss the proposed Chicago-Fort Wayne-Columbus passenger rail line.

It’s one of four public open houses being held by the Northern Indiana Passenger Rail Association. The meetings are being held in part as a requirement before the project can receive federal funding.

The meetings are scheduled at the following dates and times:

  • Tuesday, October 23, 5:30-7:30 p.m., (EDT) Lima Municipal Center, City Council Chambers, 50 Town Square, Lima, OH;
  • Wednesday, October 24, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., (EDT) Allen County Public Library, Rooms A & B, 900 Library Plaza, Fort Wayne, IN;
  • Wednesday, October 24, 5:00-7:00 p.m., (EDT) City Hall Council Chambers, 102 South Buffalo St., Warsaw, IN;
  • Thursday, October 25, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., (CDT) Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce, 2nd Floor, 162 W. Lincolnway, Valparaiso, IN.

If the proposal advances, the Chicago-Fort Wayne-Columbus corridor would provide connections to 100 Midwest cities.
