Cocoa council accepts $2 million in congressional-directed funds for multimodal station
Summary
Cocoa City Council unanimously accepted a $2,000,000 congressional-directed appropriation for a Cocoa multimodal rail station and authorized the city manager to execute the grant agreement.
Cocoa City Council voted April 28 to accept $2,000,000 in congressional-directed spending for a proposed Cocoa multimodal rail station and authorized the city manager to execute the grant agreement.
Deputy Mayor Goins moved the item and Councilwoman Weeks seconded; the motion passed with unanimous aye votes. Council praised staff work and described the award as a step forward for the city's multimodal station project.
City staff later said the funds are part of a broader funding package being pursued; the council did not discuss detailed contract terms on the floor during the vote and authorized the city manager to finalize the grant agreement.
What happens next: city staff will execute the grant agreement and incorporate the appropriation into project planning and budgeting as required.
