Madison will have six-point-four million federal dollars to help upgrade the sprawling Metro Transit maintenance facility on the Near East Side.
Senator Tammy Baldwin and Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway announced the grant award on Friday. The money will help Metro finish a multi-phase project ahead of schedule. The 300-thousand square-foot maintenance facility was built in the late 1970s and early ’80s and needs major upgrades and support systems for electric buses.
