East Lansing denied $25M grant to improve rail station

From The State News

The city of East Lansing will not receive the $25 million it requested from a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER, grant to renovate the Amtrak station on Harrison Road.

The grant would have upgraded the Amtrak facility and created a public parking structure, a project which city officials view as essential to redeveloping the Trowbridge corridor.

“(It) would have been great not only for the region but also for the Trowbridge corridor,” Councilmember Roger Peters said.
