West Haven is a future railroad station on Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line in West Haven, Connecticut. The station is being built on Sawmill Road between Hood Terrace and Railroad Avenue. Plans include 1,229 parking spaces, including 629 in a parking garage in a refurbished industrial building north of the station. Along with the station complex there are intentions to build an adjacent residential development of 325 units.
Groundbreaking of the station occurred on November 10, 2010 with the presence of outgoing Governor Jodi Rell. The station is expected to cost $118 million.[1]
