GRAND RAPIDS - For the design of the Interurban Transit Partnership's new Wealthy Operations Center, transit officials want a remarkable, professional, appealing facility that fits into the neighborhood.
The renovation and expansion of the operations center will be part of ITP's brand to complement the nearby Rapid Central Station, according to Alan Hartley, assistant executive director at The Rapid.
"We've been out of bus storage space for the better part of three or four years. We are in desperate need of expanding the facility to store all of our equipment in the building," Hartley told MiBiz.
The original construction of the Wealthy Operations Center took place in the mid-1970s. Hartley said the new facility will be able to hold over 150 buses when completed. ITP employs approximately 250 bus drivers, 30 administrative employees and 18 bus mechanics.
