The Orange County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 on Tuesday to create a short-term Rail Station Task Force to select potential sites for a passenger rail station in Hillsborough and to develop an implementation plan for the station.
Board members Barry Jacobs and Alice Gordon voted against the task force appointments because they wanted to review each potential candidate before appointing those recommended by a citizen group supporting the station.
The task force is scheduled to present selected sites to the county commissioners in February.
