If it truly is one of the largest in the state's history, it would be bigger than just a GE or IBM office.

Please advise what other forums you are referencing.
Well, that's why I was envisioning a private player like Elon Musk. Or, in the case of FL's new Brightline service, it is the freight railroad itself putting up the money, backdropped by hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of real estate in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and WPB.

Brightline was done as a gold-plated premium service, but I'm curious if a similar private company could do it on the cheap and still make money in a smaller travel market.
