Oversight and Operations
¢ BSRC may need the whole project (Providence, Worcester, Bedford) to get
the miles in order to qualify for Federal funding, and Nashua could be
federally “designated recipient” of these funds for whole system
¢ Nashua will need to further explore its roles, responsibilities, risks, and
opportunities as the “designated recipient” for BSRC system in NH
¢ Establishing Bedford, NH to Lowell/Boston service may hinge on some
agreement being possible with Pan Am, as well as the requirement to get
passenger rights from the MBTA — a complex undertaking that will need
political support across state lines
¢ Financing options and tools need to be explored for Nashua’s
responsibilities (rail station, expanded role as designated recipient)
