While formally no official word has been announced about a train stop in Lake Dallas, the city's Economic Development Corporation has been talking about making some big moves financially; Big enough to suggest that the Denton County Transportation Authority and the city could be working on a train station in the near future.

At a Thursday City Council meeting, City Manager Earl Berner said Unified Airways may leave Lake Dallas and the city is working with a realtor to acquire the lot with its Economic Development Corporation.

"There is a property for sale that will be a better place for the railroad station," he said.

The property is about 14 acres and is larger than the previously planned rail station plot which was about 11 acres. While DCTA has yet to formally respond to the city about including it as a member city, the city is talking about moving ahead anyway.
