June 21 and 22 (2023) hearings to discuss potential rail expansion in 4 Corners

Four Corners Freight Rail June 2023 Public Meetings: The Navajo Nation And San Juan County Have Formed An Important Partnership To Increase Opportunities For Our Families And Communities In Our Region Through Rail.

They Are Teaming With The Federal Railroad Administration To Evaluate And Identify Potential Railroad Routes And Facilities Along US 491 And NM 371, Environmental Benefits, And Forecast The Potential Economic Possibilities For The Region.

This Connection Would Improve Traffic Safety … And Make The Area More Attractive As A Resource For Economic Growth And Decrease Shipping Costs For Businesses.

The Four Corners Freight Rail Feasibility Study Will Consider Potential Options For Economic Development Through Rail Service … Which Could Create More Businesses Within The Region And Bring Additional Tax Revenues That Will Directly Benefit The Local School Systems And Other Social Services.

More Business Could Mean Learning Opportunities And Career Pathways For Local Children, Allowing Them To Stay In The Region And Raise Their Families Close To Home.
