South Coast Rail Update
Join the Friends of the Dartmouth Libraries on Thursday, February 6, at 6:30 p.m. to hear Jean Fox, South Coast Rail Director of Public Engagement, give an update on the commuter rail project that is reconnecting Southeastern Massachusetts with Boston. The presentation will be held at the Dartmouth North Branch Library.
After 35 years of effort, South Coast Rail will reconnect the cities of Taunton, Fall River, and New Bedford with Boston, providing a safe, reliable and convenient transportation link to and from the region. The state-funded project will offer 32 daily trips between Southeastern Massachusetts and Boston and will include some weekend service as well. The construction contractors hired many local workers to build the railroad. Already, the project has spurred local development efforts in the area's cities and surrounding towns, promising solid economic return on the state's $1B investment.
Ms. Fox’s presentation is free and open to the public and will be held at the Dartmouth North Branch Library, 211 Cross Road, Dartmouth. For more information, please e-mail [email protected].
