In June, the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) shared the news that the Cambria area of Christiansburg was being considered as a new location for passenger rail service for the New River Valley. This was a welcomed turn of events since this location appears to address many service priorities for the region and has the potential to deliver the service earlier and at a reduced overall project cost. Additional information is anticipated from VPRA in late August. The NRV Passenger Rail Station Authority is beginning to align their consulting engineering/architecture team for the new location as additional information becomes available.
