(rshsdepot) Tucson, AZ
City may get $4M for depot project
Citizen Staff Report
Feb. 14, 2003
Tucson may get $4 million in federal funding this year for the Downtown
Intermodal Center, being developed at the site of the old train depot off
Toole Avenue.
The funding would come from a $397 billion spending bill being advanced by
Republican congressional leaders.
The downtown center is at the site of the Southern Pacific railroad station.
The restoration project is planned to provide a new home for Amtrak, for
shuttle and trolley services, a transportation museum, restaurants, shops
and office space.
More than $24.5 million would come to the state for transportation-related
projects, Rep. Ed Pastor, D-Ariz., a member of the House Appropriations
Committee, said yesterday. That would include $12 million for a 20-mile
Phoenix-area light-rail system.
