Despite the pandemic slowing down some business, Texas Central is still making progress on their high-speed train connecting Houston to Dallas, nearing the end of their permitting process.
Carlos Aguilar, CEO and president of Texas Central, said the company received their final environmental impact statement May 29, culminating six years of review, consultation and public hearings regarding the project. The statement, he said, determines that the route chosen by the company for the rail connecting Houston to Dallas will have the least impact, both environmentally and socially.
