Princeton Railroad Museum project readies return to life
The Princeton Railroad Museum project, stalled by land needs for a future access road to Virginian Industrial Park, is poised to resume. About 720000 in funding including an ISTEA grant of around 630000 is secured, with a new lower Mercer Street site being lined up. Architects say drawings are ready and bids could start within two weeks of final site confirmation. The project team plans a Buy a Brick campaign as land location is finalized.
