Depot to get face  lift


The Amtrak Station downtown will get some cosmetic improvements, thanks to  
$50,000 from the state. The money is coming from the state`s Comprehensive  
Transportation Fund and will be used to upgrade the inside and outside of the  
building. The face lift will be overseen by the Grand Valley Metro Council,  
which houses the Westrain group, which works to promote Amtrak`s Grand Rapids to  
Chicago Pere Marquette line. The work will include painting inside the 
station,  adding security cameras, repaving the parking lot, upgrading lighting and 
new  signs. The Grand Rapids Amtrak Station is at 431 Wealthy St. SW.
