Help Bring the Train Station to Main Street


Greetings,

The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the relocation of the Train Platform to the center of Town is available on the link below. The link takes you directly to the comment page and if your really bored, there is a link to the entire Environmental Assessment for your reading pleasure. As most of you already know, I believe that with the Platform move to the center of Town the business sector on Main Street will undergo a transformation from a desolate area to one of vitality. To prove my point, in the last month, the Town has received two inquiries, about the Montgomery Building status, from developers who renovate mill buidings, Wehave had a new restaraunt (CJ's Ranch) open in the center of town(because he read about the relocation efforts), We have heard from a business owner seeking to buy the commercial front of the Waterside business condo units with possible tenants in hand and A developer is looking into the property on the peninsula(Chuck's) for restoration purposes with multi storefronts. I don't recall this much activity in the last seven years, yet in the last month there seems to be a surge in inquiries.
It doesn't matter where your from, your comments will be entered into the formal record.
So without further comment from me, if you can click on the link below and write some positive comments in regards to the relocation of the platform(to the center of town) it will  further the effort. DOT will make the final decision based on the number of comments supporting the location the residents want.
Oh, if you could pass the link to others who share the same view it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Wawruck
First Selectman
