The old Bethel train station canopy has been fully restored to its 19th century look.  First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker says this section of the old station was still owned by state DOT until recently, and their plan was to tear the canopy down due to its age and poor condition.  He notes that it took 10 years of negotiations with the state for the town to finally get control of the canopy so it could be restored. The project costs are covered by lease receipts, not the town budget.
