  • The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element
    The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element prepared for the Florida Department of Transportation prepared by Cambridge Systematics, Inc. With support from Planning Innovations, Inc Quandel Consultants December 2010 Florida Department of Transportation CHARLIE CRIST " STEPHANIE C. KOPELOUSOS 605 Suwannee Street GOVERNOR Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 SECRETARY December 14, 2010 Citizens of Florida: I am pleased to submit to you the Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan. Unlike in past years, where the Florida Rail System Plan was more descriptive of the separate freight and passenger rail systems, this plan is more visionary, strategic, and policy-driven. The plan was guided by a broad base of stakeholders, including the Rail Stakeholder Advisory Committee, members of the public and private sectors, modes of transportation, economic development and environmental interests, and citizen representatives. The Committee and others worked throughout the summer and fall of 2009 to develop an inventory of Florida's rail system needs and recommend priority investments that support the strategic goals, objectives, and policies of the Florida Rail System Plan. The Florida Rail System Plan is comprised of a Policy Element and this document, the Investment Element. The Policy Element provides a broad policy framework for the investment of limited state resources in Florida's rail system. The Investment Element builds upon the framework of the Policy Element by identifying the needs of Florida's rail system, establishing priorities for the investment of state funds, and setting forth future action steps necessary to implement the plan. Florida in the year 2030 will be shaped by the actions, decisions, and policy choices made today.

  • John Murray Plots His Course for Port Canaveral
    MENU FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF [email protected] From the Orlando Business Journal: https://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/news/2017/07/13/john-murray-plots-his-course-for-port-canaveral.html John Murray plots his course for Port Canaveral SUBSCRIBER CONTENT: Jul 13, 2017, 5:45pm EDT I t was the ideal day for anyone to be at Port Canaveral. The massive 2,974-passenger Carnival Liberty cruise ship was docked and prepping for its next voyage. Cargo trucks were loading and unloading products headed inland. And — rarest of them all — a SpaceX rocket booster was being moved onto land from a barge, to be repaired and readied for its next mission launch. JIM CARCHIDI That’s all exciting and new for port visitors. But it was just another day in the office for Capt. John Murray, the port’s CEO and a licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain. It’s been a year and a half since Murray assumed the helm of Port Canaveral in January 2016. Murray replaced former port CEO John Walsh, who agreed on Sept. 23, 2015, to resign after making some controversial comments to Cape Canaveral locals. But even before Murray took over, Port Canaveral’s business portfolio was booming, leading to this year’s estimated revenue of nearly $100 million. Most of that revenue — more than $61 million from wharf and docking operations — comes from cargo, cruise ships and other uses from clients like SpaceX that have facilities at the port. In addition, the port plans to begin construction in late summer 2018 on the $150 million Cruise Terminal 3 that’s set to be completed by 2019.
