Resident Feedback Sought On Maglev Train Through Laurel
Laurel mayor, council oppose high-speed train through area; resident comments sought.
From The City of Laurel: Are you aware of the proposed high-speed MAGLEV project that could be built through Prince George’s County?
Mayor Craig A. Moe, President Michael Leszcz and the Laurel City Council have been following this and they are asking for your input!
Mayor Moe recently wrote a letter to Governor Hogan, opposing this project; one reason being it “will cut through Prince George's County, taking people's homes and land while seriously damaging our environment, but providing no benefit to the greater Laurel area or Prince George's County,” and many more reasons that can be found at https://tinyurl.com/OpposingMAGLEV.
