VIRGINIA BEACH -- Virginia Beach is expected to get $1.5 million to help study the possibility of a light rail in the resort city.
The Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Organization is expected to vote next week to allocate the money to partially fund a detailed study on the project.
The study would answer many questions about what a Virginia Beach light-rail system would cost, how many people would use it and where it would run.
Residents rejected a referendum for the project nine years ago, but proponents say it has more support now.
The study comes as Norfolk faces cost overruns on its own light-rail project.
