Rumor has it Antiplanner will release a study on public transportation in N.C. via JLF later this week. You have to wonder what he’ll think of Lexington’s proposed Depot District.

If you can follow all the fed money being tossed around for rail projects in this state, then you’re smarter than I am. Bottom line is Lexington wants to get back on the Amtrak line and raze Lexington Home Brands Plant No. 1 —which the city owns anyway —- for a brand-new rail depot, which “would be ‘a key component’ to the revitalization of the rest of the property.”
