About the project:

As part of MassDOT’s Compass Rail program to expand intercity passenger rail in Massachusetts, MassDOT is conducting a study to identify a new passenger rail station along the proposed Compass Rail corridor serving the Town of Palmer and surrounding communities. The proposed new passenger rail station will enhance mobility and connectivity, support local planning goals, and drive economic development.
