Cityscape // Renovations continue on the 100,000-square-foot train shed at the rear of the Main Street Station in Downtown. The $50 million project will create a lighted, glass-walled space for retail shops and possibly a welcome center. It is expected to be completed in seven to eight months. This is the third phase of the train station project that was started in the late 1990s. In 2003, about $40 million was used to restore and reopen the historic train station, with its clock tower, built in 1901 and which is now a U.S. National Historic Landmark. The federal and state governments also have provided about $85.4 million toward the total project, with the city pitching in $4.6 million. Officials have said the station is to be a transit hub for rail and bus operations.
