Major Progress On WL Historic Train Station Restoration Announced


An update from Patrick McMahon, WL Economic Development Consultant. 

2011 has been a productive year on important initiatives in Windsor Locks.  The Town has been working closely with the Department of Transportation and Amtrak on moving the train platform back into the downtown area.  A great deal of progress has been made including a very well-attended public information session in the fall.  The Town was then awarded a $250,000 Transit Oriented Development Planning Grant to study the area around where we are proposing to move the train platform (just north of the historic station).   We have some additional exciting news.   We met with senior official from Amtrak's Government Affairs division and we have restarted discussions about the historic train station.  Here is a copy of a letter we received earlier this month: http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs022/1101984693438/archive/1109000422098.html
