Opinion: Next stop for reinvented Metro: a thriving region
Darryl Haley
Hamilton County, get on board. We’ve got places to go.
Thanks to the passage of Issue 7 last year, Metro has the funding needed via a countywide sales tax to expand and improve public transit, boost economic development and invest in roadway infrastructure.
Reinventing Metro – our blueprint for the future – will become reality as we roll out Phase I on May 30. This marks the culmination of several years of extensive planning, which included input from Hamilton County residents, transportation experts, regional leaders and organizations.
As we embark on this next phase, I’m thankful for those who have supported Metro – whether they expressed it by voting for Issue 7 or by giving us feedback as riders and engaged community members.
