I recently attended a community meeting to discuss the proposed CSX rail facility ("Price tags put on intermodal sites," Nov. 16). I came away with a clear understanding of the positive impact this facility would have on our economy.

In such tough economic times, how can we turn down any opportunities to bring thousands of jobs into our area? I sincerely hope that local residents, the county and those with the railroad can work together to make this proposal a reality.
