Stuart, Fl (treasurecoastfree.press)- On November 13th the City of Stuart approved a joint response — meaning both the county and the city approve — to begin planning and designing a new Brightline station on Monday afternoon.

Brightline has published a request for proposals seeking submissions for train station locations in Martin and St. Lucie counties.
