Let’s bring East and West back together.

March 14, 2009 By liveandletlive

I am writing this post to gather support for expanding commuter rail and Amtrak service from Boston to Palmer MA and points West. Please consider writing to your Senator or Congressperson in support of this. Thanks so much. A happy and prosperous Western MA will benefit the the entire state.

To the Honorable____________,  

I am writing to ask you to strongly support the expansion of commuter rail and Amtrak service from Boston to Palmer and points West.  Restoring service to an already renovated train station, which is surrounded by existing and working infrastructure would be a cost effective way to revitalize Palmer as well as the surrounding towns.  In the South Central/Western MA area, businesses are closing and jobs are hard to find.  Bringing bustling train service back to the area would bring life back to this once prosperous region. It would reconnect Eastern and Western Massachusetts.  Reopening the Palmer train station, as well as points West to commuter rail and Amtrak service is a win / win for Western Massachusetts and the entire state. It will help to keep employees working in our state, contributing to the state income tax as well as contributing to small business growth and general prosperity for the region and for the entire state.

Thank You

Your Name Here!

There will be more information forthcoming about this great project.

Thanks for your support!

Please share widely!
