The Lynn Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed Congressman Seth Moulton to Lynn on Wednesday morning at A Land of a Thousand Hills coffee shop. Moulton was on hand to answer questions in a Q&A format.
Congressman Seth Moulton answered questions about the revitalizing of Lynn and transportation from Lynn to the rest of the state.
Moulton’s chief concern for Lynn and the North Shore was transportation. He see’s connecting the north rail lines to the south, North Station to South Station, as a key link needed to revitalize Lynn.
Moulton also wants to increase the number of trains to and from Lynn on a daily basis to Boston and extend the Blue Line to Lynn. “That’s the vision, to be able to take a train to Logan.”
“Lynn is the same distance from downtown (Boston) as Brooklyn is from Manhattan,” said Moulton. “Lynn has the fundamentals.”
“People who can’t afford the $1.5 million starter condo in Boston could commute from Lynn to work,” said Moulton.
