During remarks made during the unveiling, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer stated “As a lifelong Central Floridian, it made me proud to see the advancement of our community today as our true multimodal hub becomes a reality and we celebrate the Brightline Orlando Station and soon-to-come train service to our international airport. This station represents so much more than a new train service, it is a critical connection for our community to jobs and oppertunity and further showcases the power of partnerships and what our culture of collaboration here in Central Florida can do to improve the lives of our residents, workers, and travelers when we work together.”
