Martin County must reapply for a grant for its proposed Brightline station in Stuart, federal officials said.
The federal grant opportunity was rescinded and no funds were awarded.
But $5 billion is available for eligible applicants and eligible projects across the country.
MARTIN COUNTY — Martin County’s plans to build a $60 million Brightline station in Stuart is delayed about nine months, as it now has to reapply for much of the grant money needed, following a U.S. Department of Transportation decision announced Sept. 22.
The decision forces applicants to reapply for the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Grant Program, rebranded as the National Railroad Partnership Program.
