Nothing I know about, but then I don't live there, it's just nearby. As
far as I can tell they build a dedicated car barn, that you can see
behind it, and he car itself is sitting on rails that end just shy of
where I was standing. The original street car rails in Guilford were an
interurban route that ran along the shoreline from New Haven to Old
Saybrook, where it stopped at the Connecticut River. Guilford probably
had fewer than 500 residents at the time, it was very rural, it didn't
justify more than the trunk line, which competed for passenger traffic
with the NY., NH., & H. Railroad. The rails were torn up for scrap
shortly before during and after WWII.

Does the town have any sort of public plan for what they're going to do
with it after they restore it?

For some reason, the Town of Guilford owns an early 20th century
Electric Streetcar that they're restoring. I can't exactly fathom why
this is a town function as there is a perfectly good Trolly Museum not
much more than 10 miles away. I suppose that I could have called this A
Streetcar named No Admittance, but then there would have been even less
of a joke.
