The announcement marks a significant step in the development of the 240-mile line that will connect Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, with a stop in the Brazos Valley.
“This underscores the attention the Texas Bullet Train has received from world-class firms, wanting to be part of a project that will revolutionize travel here and generate long-lasting local economic benefits,” Texas Central CEO Carlos Aguilar said. “We are excited to partner with firms that have deep Texas roots. This is the latest in a long list of Texas-based companies helping build the train, including Freese & Nichols, Contract Land Staff and Survey And Mapping.”
Texas Central said Fluor and Lane have no equity or ownership stake in the project and will not be involved in land acquisition.
