The Georgetown Train Station has been fully restored. BY STEVEN BILLUPS
The historic Georgetown Train Station reopened in a ribbon-cutting ceremony sponsored by the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce. The train station's second floor was severely damaged in a fire in 2011. Local and state officials, who originally helped to revive the train station and open it back in 2003, were on hand to help cut the ribbon on the new train station.
