Home » New Green Review of Md. Purple Line Ordered
The fate of the planned 16-mile Purple Line light-rail project across Washington, DC’s Maryland suburbs has been clouded by a federal court’s call for an updated environmental study—adding another delay to a project already on the brink of losing nearly $1 billion in federal funds.
