Bringing Back My 
Rail Trail Email Newsletter
Greetings!
   
For about five years I was producing a Constant Contact HTML newsletter that was going out to over 4,000 folks interested in rail trail development around the Northeast.  AND it was being forwarded to another 7,000 people. Because my real estate practice got too busy, I had to shut down the newsletter and a lot of people expressed their disappointment.  

Now we're in 2017 and my real estate practice is at a point where I have brought on an assistant--Tiffany Lyman-Olszewski--who can do the background layout of this newsletter. It will consist of 8 articles (with links) and will only about rail trail development in the Northeast. I'll also have an update or calendar about my speaking engagements and other interesting little tidbits. I hope you enjoy this, as there is a lot going on around the region!

Best,
Craig Della Penna

 Many years ago, perhaps 1999, I was called in to be the keynote speaker at a gathering of business owners in downtown Newburyport to talk about developing a trail not only to the downtown area, but to be a part of the East Coast Greenway and connect into New Hampshire.  See what is happening now.

Traveling by train, but still need your bike for when you disembark? Now you can carry it on board with you when you travel by Amtrak.

  In 2016, I commissioned Tom Adams of Reelife Productions to produce a series of short videos about each section of the burgeoning network of rail trails here in the CT River Valley. Turns out that there are 14 and you're gonna love them!
