• Latest Florida Brightline station might be dead, FEC denies approval (tcpalm.com) — A new legal filing over Brightline’s Stuart station financing highlights how Miami-Dade County fully funded the $76 million Brightline stop in Aventura, contrasting that public investment with Brightline’s refusal to fund a Stuart station. While the dispute centers on Stuart and Martin County, it underscores how taxpayer-backed rail infrastructure, including Aventura’s station, is shaping Brightline’s expansion strategy across South Florida.
