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.

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.
