The Federal Railroad Administration will host 10 public hearings throughout Texas in January and February regarding Texas Central's high-speed railway. Community members can attend the public hearings to submit comments on the project. The FRA signed a draft environmental impact statement for Texas Central in mid-December, which outlines a preferred route from Dallas to Houston. Texas Central, a private company, plans to construct a 240-mile high-speed rail route from Houston to Dallas. When completed, the multibillion-dollar route will provide riders a 90-minute trip between the two cities. Community members can comment on the project and the environmental report through Feb. 20 by attending a public hearing, sending an email to [email protected] or completing a form electronically. After a series of public hearings, the FRA will consider public input from the draft environmental impact statement and compile a final environmental impact statement. The FRA will then issue a record of decision to comply with the permitting process for the project. The FRA has scheduled the following public hearings: Monday, Jan. 29 Dallas County Wilmer-Hutchins High School, 5520 Langdon Road, Dallas 5-9 p.m. Navarro County Corsicana Middle School, 4101 FM 744, Corsicana 5-9 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30 Ellis County Ennis High School, 2301 Ensign Road, Ennis 5-9 p.m. Leon County Leon High School, 12168 Hwy. 79, Jewett 5-9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 31 Limestone County Mexia High School, 1120 N.
