Specifically, the coalition of rail supporters are calling for $4 million to fund "a detailed financial plan for the project, preliminary engineering, environmental permitting and preparation of funding applications for submission to the Federal Transit Administration and Federal Rail Administration."

Feingold provides more insight into the economic development case made by project supporters, as well as the political support the project has already garnered.
