i <br /> from activity on the Lagoon, itself, to the Indian River Lagoon National Scenic <br /> Byway According to Florida Atlantic University Harbor Branch, the Lagoon <br /> "stretches along 40% of Florida's east coast and yields an estimated $3.7 <br /> billion annual economic impact for the state." <br /> • Bond sales-AAF was unable to secure funding through the private sale of <br /> $1.75 billion bond issue and now seeks a second extension for that sale. <br /> Very troubling. And, should they continue with the Railroad Rehabilitation <br /> and Improvement Funds, All Aboard Florida MUST comply with the National <br /> Environmental Protection Act (NEPA, the National Historic Preservation Act <br /> (NHPA), and the Federal Department of Transportation Act (FDTA). <br /> We urge the Federal Railroad Administration to be vigilant to the concerns of <br /> the Chamber, the Indian River County Train Impact Coalition, Indian River <br /> County government and the governments of the Cities of Sebastian and Vero <br /> Beach. We also request that a Record of Decision and any further <br /> considerations requested by All Aboard Florida be delayed until Indian River <br /> County is presented with a 90% plan and the critical concerns and questions I <br /> raised have answers. I <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Aennydler <br /> President <br /> cc: County Commissioners <br /> Joe Baird, County Administrator <br /> Jason Brown, Incoming County Administrator <br /> Office of the Indian River County Attorney <br /> City Councils Sebastian, Vero Beach <br /> Ruth Stanbridge, Indian River County Historian <br /> Chris Wilson, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation <br /> Tim Parsons, Compliance, DHR <br /> U.S. Dept. of the Army, Jacksonville District Corps of Engineers <br /> Governor Rick Scott <br /> Senator Bill Nelson <br /> Senator Marco Rubio I <br /> Congressman Bill Posey <br /> 7 <br />
