The Mobile City Council will need to decide on a lease agreement on property that would be needed for an Amtrak platform near Cooper Riverside Park. At least five council members will need to support it.
It could come down to one vote. At least two of the seven council members have expressed serious philosophical concerns over the Amtrak Gulf Coast project.
Asked what might happen if the council does not approve the agreement, Ross said, “We would have to find a different way to do it, I guess.” “Talking to folks anywhere on the Gulf Coast, and I spend a lot of time on the Gulf Coast and they know I’m a part of this , I hear, ‘When is the train coming?’” Magliari said. “Look at Mobile … they have a bigger cruise ship coming . That wasn’t part of the discussion when this conversation began.”
The Federal Railroad Administration is charged with awarding the money. Officials had expected the money, and the construction work to have been underway earlier this year.
