A Downeaster stop will boost the town’s efforts to showcase its downtown to tourists who might otherwise bypass it
This is a bit of a head scratcher... I don't see a stop in Kennebunk making much sense for people coming TO Kennebunk unless they can guarantee there is a trolley, shuttle, or something else waiting for passengers to take them to/from the downtown as soon as they get off. There is NOTHING near the train station that would be viable for tourists, and I believe the downtown area is a good half mile or possibly more from there.
That said, I think it would be convenient for locals wanting to travel North or South of Kennebunk.
