A Message from the President…. 

Good Afternoon Chamber Members,

High Speed Rail is in the news again! 

The California High-Speed Rail Authority is now conducting community open house meetings to provide current information on the alternatives under consideration along the Palmdale to Burbank project section.  This is one of our final opportunities to advocate directly to the High-Speed Rail Authority regarding our desire for appropriate and technically feasible fully underground alignments that will not negatively impact communities or neighborhoods to be included in the environmental review phase.

Please see the attached flyer for the date, times, and locations for the community meeting near you.

Thank you for your participation in the coalition to protect our communities from the High-Speed Rail’s impact to homes, churches, schools and businesses. Download the flier here
