Freeport considers eminent domain takeover of private property near Downeaster train stop

Town Manager Dale Olmstead said the town continues to negotiate with the landowner, but that time is running out. Passenger train service from Brunswick to Boston on the Amtrak Downeaster is scheduled to begin in November. The town will need time to engineer and mark the pedestrian walkway from the parking area to the platform, Olmstead said.
