LANSING — The Capital Area Transportation Authority is expanding its downtown Lansing presence with a new administrative building.
Board members approved on Monday a $1 million purchase of 511 S. Washington Ave, a former Greyhound Bus station near its downtown transportation center at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Lenawee Street
The transit authority is expected to put down a $20,000 deposit on the building before the deal closing in November. A timetable calls for construction to begin in either winter or spring 2025, with the grand opening expected in January 2026.
“The vision is for a new facility to house not only some CATA offices, primarily for customer-facing employees, but also provide a new area for public meetings, a resource center for customers, and potentially space for another community partner,” officials said in presentation materials for Monday’s meeting.
