Governor Rell announces agreement to speed completion of third Fairfield 
train station


Governor's Office (CT) Press Release
April 29, 2010

Governor M. Jodi Rell today announced a breakthrough in negotiations 
with the Town of Fairfield and developer Blackrock Realty that will 
allow the completion of the Fairfield Metro Center commuter rail station 
with full parking facilities and accompanying vehicle and pedestrian access.

"We have an innovative solution to help finish this project despite an 
extraordinarily difficult economy," Governor Rell said. "That solution 
will benefit the state and the community, as well as the thousands of 
commuters who depend on Metro-North's New Haven Line to get to and from 
work every day.

"We are taking a once-blighted 'brownfield' and turning it into 
positive, transit-oriented development - along with open space for a 
park and improved protections for wetlands," the Governor said. "And, of 
course, the project itself keeps and creates construction jobs, which 
are always welcome. I want to commend everyone involved for making this 
happen."
