Where the undersigned citizens of Brazoria, Fort Bend, Matagorda & Wharton counties oppose the scheme by Port Freeport & the Brazoria Fort Bend Raul District to use eminent domain to seize land for a railroad from Freeport to Kendleton, and beyond. This project will have a devastating impact on landowners through reduced property values, impaired access to land across railroad tracks, flooding issues, lower quality of life, noise pollution, etc. Any benefit of having a second rail to serve Port Freeport would be far outweighed by the cost to taxpayers and landowners.
The people have spoken and our momentum is terrifying the bureaucrats at Port Freeport. They thought they could steal our land in the dark but this surge of opposition proves we are watching their every move.

If this goes through it will cost land owners with livestock so much time and money. It will reduce property values and harm wildlife areas.

RR NOT good for Jones Creek.
Will damage rural land, come too close to historic SFAustin site, impact flooding, disrupt bird & animal preserve, noise pollution, too close to local school, & disrupt rural life style that citizens bought property for !

This rail is all about profit for petrochemical companies and special interests over people and environment. Less than 60 miles of track projected to be close to $1 Billion dollars.

There is nothing positive, except for big business, in this plan!!
