Fairfield Metro Center is a future station on Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line in eastern Fairfield, Connecticut. Once completed, it will be the town's third railroad station, located between Fairfield station and Bridgeport station. The station will be accessible by exit 24 of I-95.
Part of the plan had included building four office buildings and a Hilton Hotel next to the station but Hilton has repotedly dropped out. The street address of the site is 21 Black Rock Turnpike. The station will have 1,500 parking spaces.
Actual construction of the train station and associated commercial space has yet to begin but site clearing did begin in spring 2007. [1]
The station is expected to open in late 2009 or early 2010 but numerous projections for completion have been wrong in the past. [2]
The project has been exteremely controversial for a number of reasons including the fact that it was originated by ConnDOT during the the administration of the disgraced former Governor John G. Rowland who was sentenced to federal prison for corruption. And more recently in early 2008, numerous local citizens are questioning the project because government regulatory processes have been short circuited without question by anyone other than concerned citizens.
