Mineral Co. Commissioners vote to join passenger rail authority

On Friday, Sept. 24, the Mineral County Commissioners signed the resolution for membership into the BSPRA, becoming the 17th county to do so.

“After hearing from residents and business development organizations of our county, we have not only agreed to involvement but have become very excited of the prospect of this taking place,” said Roman Zylawy, chairman of the Mineral County Commissioners and soon to be the Mineral County director on the BSPRA.

The Mineral County Economic Development Corporation was the push behind the movement to the commissioners with the Mineral County Community Foundation and the St. Regis Resort District climbing ‘on board’ looking to the future of what this might mean to our area.
