Brevard Tourism Dollars May Be Directed To New Cocoa Brightline Station

Brevard County’s tourism advisory board is considering recommending a $5 million allocation towards constructing a Brightline train station in north Cocoa. The proposal would utilize revenue generated from the county’s tourist development tax. Brightline aims to establish a station in north Cocoa but hasn’t disclosed cost details or committed funds. Currently, federal grants and local commitments are earmarked for the project, with potential state funding in the works.
