McGovern: Railroad Propane Site Doesn't Make Sense

Rep. McGovern met with residents of North Grafton to discuss the proposed propane facility last week.

The lawsuit between the town of Grafton and the Grafton-Upton Railroad is going to be decided by the Surface Transportation Board, but while a decision is reached local leaders are discussing the possible outcomes.

Last week Congressman James McGovern, D-Worcester, met with residents of North Grafton to discuss the lawsuit, according The Grafton Villager.

The proposed plans for the railroad don’t make a lot of sense. There are safety questions, traffic questions, infrastructure questions, and on and on and on,” McGovern told the Villager.
