A study of a high-speed rail link between western Massachusetts and Boston is getting a thumbs-up from the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber has sent a letter of support to state senators who are considering whether to include the study, to be conducted by MassDOT, in their fiscal 2018 budget.
Longmeadow State Senator Eric Lesser is behind the proposal and is hoping for different results after Governor Baker vetoed a similar measure earlier this year.
The Senate could vote on the proposal by the end of the week.
