Please be advised that Representative William Straus and Senator Brendan Crighton, co-chairs of the Western Massachusetts Passenger Rail Commission, have announced the final of six public meetings of the Commission, which are being held pursuant to §60 of Chapter 176 of the Acts of 2022. The legislature established this commission to investigate and receive public testimony concerning potential public entities with the ability to design, permit, construct, operate and maintain passenger rail service proposals from the East-West Passenger Rail Study Final Report.
The meeting is scheduled for May 16, 2023 at 2 p.m. in the Lebowitz Room at the Morse Institute Library in Natick. A sign-in sheet at the hearing location will be made available for those persons who wish to address the Commission in-person.
