An Oct. 1 deadline looms while the state continues to evaluate its position on funding Amtrak’s Hoosier State passenger rail line.
To highlight the importance of rail as a transportation option, Greater Lafayette Commerce will host a statewide summit on Wednesday to focus on the impact of losing the service.
“This summit will bring together interested parties so the best course of action for Indiana can be determined and actions taken,” Commerce president and CEO Joe Seaman said in a press release.
At stake is daily passenger rail service from Indianapolis to Chicago, including stops in Lafayette, Crawfordsville, Rensselaer and Dyer.
