Grant awarded to study financing improvements to Danbury, New Canaan branches

A $400,000 federal grant from the Department of Transportation has been awarded to the Greater Danbury area regional planning group. The Western Connecticut Council of Governments will put the Better Utilizing Investment to Leverage Development or BUILD Grant to study the best method to finance improvements to the Metro-North Danbury and New Canaan Branch Lines.  West Cog Executive Director Francis Pickering says faster, more reliable passenger rail service is a key for the region but has been held back due to a lack of funds.  The project will consider a range of options, with involvement by all currently served on the branch line, as well as communities to which service may be extended including Brookfield and New Milford.
