Are we getting a local train station??

Recently officials for Transportation and Southeastern Regional Planning & Economic Development District members met with the City of Taunton to discuss the options for the new South Coast Rail project.

The South Coast Rail project will connect Boston with Taunton, New Bedford and Fall River. They are weighing the 3 options available: connecting from Stoughton; relocating the Lakeville Station to Middleboro; or going through Attleboro. The Attleboro option being the least desirable to Taunton because of the number of streets that will be affected.

Regardless of how it gets here it looks like a commuter rail is coming.....not for another 10 years or so but it is going to get here.

I am curious. What is your opinion? Are you in favor of the commuter rail? Do you feel it will improve property values?

Let me know what you think.
