The city of Gastonia received a $600,000 grant to fund plans and designs for a transportation hub combining all forms of public transit, including any future commuter train or light rail service.
Gastonia Planning Director Jack Kiser said the first step would involve finalizing a location that would be suitable for Greyhound, Gastonia Transit, Gaston Access and CATS 85-X bus routes, as well as Amtrak passenger trains.
"It would house city buses, inter-city buses, Amtrak and if we're able to re-establish commuter rail on the P&N, it could house all of that," Kiser told City Council at a meeting this month.
