The county put $50,000 toward a $200,000 study with Weldon and DOT exploring a passenger rail station and mobility hub — a project officials say could benefit the whole region.
Board of Commissioners - Feb 16, 2026
The county committed $50,000 toward a $200,000 mobility hub study to keep Weldon competitive for passenger rail — both the Weldon-to-Raleigh corridor and the Rocky Mount-to-Petersburg Amtrak gap.
Board of Commissioners - Jan 5, 2026
The new state rail plan still includes the Weldon-to-Raleigh corridor, but no funding. Staff wants to reconvene the local working group, do a $200,000 mobility hub study, and chase federal grants to get the project ready rather than waiting on the state.
