The Rome Civic Center was the site last night for the second of three exploratory meetings held by Georgia Department of Transportation officials and high speed rail consultants. On the table is the proposal for a high speed rail line that would connect Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to the airport in Chattanooga, covering about 110 miles.
Officials offer four proposed routes. One is labeled the "Rome Alignment". Another is the easternmost route, which would go through Cartersville and eastern Gordon County, and through Dalton on the way to Chattanooga. The other two proposed routes would use the median of Interstate-75.
Officials will hold a meeting tonight in Chattanooga. Next spring, informational open house meetings are to be scheduled.
