HB 6484 Passes in House
June 7, 2021The Connecticut House of Representatives passed legislation that is an important first step in expanding rail services in our community. HB 6484 is a comprehensive bill that includes several recommendations from the Connecticut Department of Transportation.
One of the provisions of the bill indicates that the CT DOT will study the feasibility of establishing a new passenger train station in Groton. The DOT will also study extending the Shore Line East rail line to Rhode Island and a new passenger rail service from New London to Norwich.
These additions would greatly benefit our community - a passenger train station will make Groton more accessible and connect us with the rest of the state.
