So New England Transrail is still alive:
WILMINGTON TOWN CRIER — At the Select Board meeting on Monday night, Senator Barry Finegold and Representative David Robertson provided updates for the board on a variety of important issues. Select Board Chair Judy O’Connell introduced Finegold as Wilmington’s newest senator.
Finegold formally introduced himself also, assuring residents that he’d listen and support any needs and issues no matter how small. He asked the board to tell himself and Robertson how they could help with the board’s initiatives.
O’Connell explained that she invited Finegold and Robertson that night to provide the board a chance to ask them questions. She first asked for an update on the Olin Superfund Site.
Robertson answered that the remediation entered the next step of hydrology. He mentioned that there had been a public comment period, during which they sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Environmental Protection asking them to hold the companies to blame to the highest standard.
O’Connell then asked about the plans for redevelopment on the site. Town Manager Jeff Hull replied saying that New England Transrail, or Wilmington Woburn Intermodal, is looking to redevelop the property for warehousing.
“My understanding is that once an agreement is reached, the proposed development would look to proceed,” he said.
