1. Post-EIE, Notice of Cancellation of Orange Railroad Station Project

Municipality where project was proposed: Orange

Project History: The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) originally proposed to construct a new commuter railroad station along the New Haven Line in Orange, Connecticut through a public-private partnership agreement that would have included a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) component constructed by a private developer.  An Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) was published and subsequently noticed in the Environmental Monitor on May 16, 2017. A public hearing for the EIE was conducted on June 20, 2017. 

Since that time, however, CTDOT has determined that it is not in a financial position to participate in the project as proposed in the EIE, and is canceling the project.  If CTDOT were to initiate the project again in the future, an updated environmental analysis and public scoping process would take place at that time, as appropriate.  CTDOT's conclusion, as stated above, can be found in the Memo of Findings and Determination.
