SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Massachusetts is set to receive nearly 3-million dollars from the U.S. Department of Transportation to fund high speed rail advancements here in western Massachusetts.

The funding was was originally awarded to Wisconsin and Ohio but the incoming Governors of those states both indicated that they will not move forward with high speed rail projects.
