SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Springfield Union Station will receive a $17 million federal grant to redevelop it into a transportation center. The 86-year-old station will host Amtrak and intercity bus service.
The grant is part of $75 million renovation of the station. HDR Architects have been hired to oversee the renovation. In addition to rebuilt platforms and extra tracks, Union Station is slated to receive a 23-bay bus terminal, and a 400-space parking garage along with retail and office space.
Construction is expected to begin sometime in the spring of 2013.
