On December 9, 2010, US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced that the federal government had revoked the funding for the 3C corridor, which would be redirected to high-speed rail projects in other states. The $400 million was reclaimed by the White House, following repeated promises by Governor John Kasich to cancel the project. He attempted to get permission to use the funds on other transportation related projects, but this was rejected by the White House. The money reclaimed was divided among several other states, including California, New York and Florida. As of 2015, funding for the Ohio Hub project remained on hold, though it has never been officially canceled. Potential revival Plans were restarted around 2020 as Amtrak sought to expand and create new medium-distance rail services, though not as high-speed rail. In May 2021 further plans were presented to Columbus officials regarding the proposed service, which is expected to commence service by 2035. By 2020 Amtrak was proposing to substantially increase rail service through the state. The 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act raised the possibility of new funding for new and increased service in Ohio. Lakefront Station in Cleveland would be unable to accommodate this increase in service, which is why a group by the name of All Aboard Ohio is pushing for the restoration of rail service at Cleveland Union Terminal.
