It is being led by a US-based company with the financing coming from JPMorgan Chase. The design is a bit like the one between Boston and Providence.
It's not exactly a great sign that this project was fumbled for so long and may come to fruition due to American investors, but it's not that surprising to me. There was an interview somewhere and the promoters were talking about how this is probably the lowest-hanging fruit in North America for this type of development right now. I doubt there is another region like this in North America with almost no sports, no major venues built in the last 50 years, and 700,000 or so in the local market within about a 45-60 min drive, 2-2.5M in the wider region which has 0 major sports teams.
