Amtrak Bridgeport Railyard to Undergo Federal Environmental Review

• Amtrak's new maintenance facility in Bridgeport will undergo a federal environmental review starting Oct. 8.
• The review was initiated due to community pushback over the project moving forward without one.
• The Federal Railroad Administration expects the review to be complete by year's end.
• The proposed facility is being developed in partnership with Canal Edge, led by White Sox minority owner Justin Ishbia.
• Residents from Bridgeport and Chinatown expressed concerns about the project's potential effects on their neighborhoods.
