Mayor Sarno states, “This effort continues to highlight the need for East-West rail under President Biden’s infrastructure package. I am very appreciative of Congressman Neal’s, Governor Baker’s, state Senator Eric Lesser’s and everyone involved continued efforts to bring this to fruition. This would be a boon for economic development, housing initiatives and jobs right here in Springfield and ‘The Golden West’. We need to start catching up to the European and Asian nations when it comes to state of the art passenger rail travel.”
