Greg Stroud from SECoast will give a brief presentation about the current situation regarding the Federal Railroad proposal Alternative #1.  Stroud has been a leader in the effort to stop the new rail from going through Old Lyme’s business and historic districts.  He will discuss the scope of the project, how the town has fought it, and action needed to help stop this alternative.

Stroud will also touch on how Old Lyme businesses might be affected, and how business and and residential property values are already being impacted.
