In 2018, Brightline reached a legal settlement with Martin County and residents that a station would be constructed on the Treasure Coast within five years of the completion of the Orlando extension.

After completing the Orlando extension, Brightline had indicated that their focus was on the Treasure Coast to receive a station, with the company formally launching request for proposals.

[9][10] In the months to follow, however, financial concerns began to arise, with some residents mentioning that the station would be too costly for taxpayers of the City of Stuart.

[11][12][13] The following day, Martin County commissioners unanimously voted to renegotiate the deal between Brightline and the City of Stuart for the potential station.

Martin County, along with the anticipated FSP grant from the FRA, would fund constructing the station and its platform, a surface parking lot that would accommodate Brightline passengers, improvements to rail infrastructure, and access and zoning requirements and costs.
