YouTube Videos Support SunRail

Earlier this week, working closely with a group of volunteers, the Central Florida Partnership produced a series of YouTube videos in support of SunRail.  These videos are now available for viewing and are being distributed across the entire State of Florida.  Special thanks goes to our volunteers who took the time to share their thoughts about Florida’s future and how Florida’s future relates directly to SunRail.
