From the Lansing State Journal
Plans to redevelop the East Lansing Amtrak station are chugging along as the city continues to seek project funding.
The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee last week approved $2.5 million in federal funds to construct a new multi-modal transit center at the site of the train station at 1240 S. Harrison Road.
The 35-year-old station also serves as a bus stop for Greyhound Lines Inc. and Indian Trails Inc. The Capital Area Transportation Authority has a nearby stop on Harrison Road.
The $2.5 million appropriation for East Lansing was the largest of 10 transportation and housing projects in Michigan that received committee approval. Others included $2 million for a commuter rail between Detroit and Ann Arbor.
