CONCORD — More than three-quarters of New Hampshire residents support expanding passenger rail from Boston to Nashua and Manchester, according to a recent survey conducted by the Saint Anselm College Survey Center. The poll indicates 75.5 percent of residents are in support of rail, with only 14.5 percent opposed and 10 percent with no opinion.
“A majority of residents from every political party, gender, age, education level, ideology and county support expanding rail,” said E.J. Powers, N.H. Business for Rail Expansion spokesman. “With more than 110 statewide businesses and now three-quarters of residents indicating their support, it is time for policymakers to act and take the next step in expanding rail and realizing the vast economic benefits it would deliver.”
