The Town has recently purchased a CSX rail line that is currently abandoned and is now overgrown with vegetation between Hill Street to Tempest Lane and is approximately 0.57 miles in length. This section of tracks is proposed to become part of the “Rails to Trails” program and tie into the Town’s existing Rails to Trails network. The Town has conducted soil testing to ensure safety from containments for all pedestrians. See linked Brownfield Application Draft and soil test results above.
