About The Train Station & Association


NEWS UPDATE: March 20, 2006

The Train Station Committee has been hard at work. At this time, there is a meeting scheduled with Dean Amadon, who is completing the appraisal on the Train Station. We expect to be in receipt of the appraisal no later than March 31, 2006.

At that time, all the initial paperwork will be completed and ready to be sent to Amtrak to begin the negotiations that, we hope, will eventually lead to us acquiring the Train Station and property.

We contracted John Curtis, of Brimfield, MA to prepare a Historical Architectural Study of the Train Station. On March 10, 2006, Mr. Curtis came to Windsor Locks and performed a site inspection of the Station and gathered more information from our past studies.

The Historical Achitectural Study Report was received March 20 and will be formly presented at a group meeting at the end of the month. In the report, Mr. Curtis focused on the architectural importance of the Station as well as the immediate urgency of addressing the condition of the structure itself.

Barbara Schley has spoken with Tom Elmore in regards to obtaining a concept drawing of the site work and Station. This drawing would show a 2 dimensional view of what we hope the Station and surrounding property will look like. We should have further information posted later in the week with regards to the drawing and when it may be available.

More details will be posted here as they become available.
