The Exeter Planning Board has requested of the NH DOT CMAQ funding to purchase the Exeter train station's former baggage building in order to construct a transportation center for Downeaster and bus service. Currently, Exeter has only a platform to handle the large number of daily Downester passengers.
Train Committee Chairman Bob Hall, long-time TrainRiders/Northeast board member, notes the the federal funding would pay 70% of the anticipated $400,000 cost.
