State Senator James Skoufis announced that the West Shore Passenger Line feasibility study has officially been included in the New York State Senate’s one-house budget proposal, marking a significant step forward for the project.
Supporters of the initiative called the development a major victory for efforts to restore passenger rail service along the Hudson Valley’s West Shore Line.
Advocates thanked partners across the region, including members of the New York State Senate, county legislators in Orange and Rockland counties, and numerous municipalities that have supported the initiative by adopting resolutions backing the study. Special recognition was given to Josh Wojciechowski of the Town of Cornwall for taking the first step in advancing the resolution.
Supporters say the proposal represents an important milestone for the region and could help move the long-discussed passenger rail project closer to becoming a reality.
