The Southwest Regional Planning Agency and its group of consultants have completed their East Main Street Transit Node Feasibility Study, and have decided that a new rail station is the preferred option. The group will be explaining its reasoning Thursday night at a public meeting at the government center.

“Be a part of the long?term planning for economic and community development in your neighborhood,” the flier for the meeting said.

The study was a federally funded project through the Sustainable Communities Initiative, a joint program of the U.S. Housing and Urban Development and  Transportation departments and the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the lobby of the Stamford Government Center, 888 Washington Blvd., and translation services will be provided.
