The SCRAC Physical Sub-Committee presented a vision plan to revitalize downtown Stoughton. The plan aims to: 1) Relieve traffic congestion through new roads and better traffic flow. 2) Leverage potential commuter rail expansion by working with DOT to locate a new station downtown and encourage transit-oriented development. 3) Create green spaces, parks, and mixed-use development near the new station to energize downtown. 4) Develop Stoughton's identity through cultural events and attractions to create a vibrant 24-hour downtown. The committee will next work to advance the rail extension, refine zoning, market to developers, and apply for grants to implement the plan.
