Council approves intermodal conversion contract in Del Rio
City and Texas Department of Transportation ink a deal to convert the train station into the Del Rio Intermodal Transportation Center with about 40 000 local dollars in match funding and total construction costs near 950 000 dollars. Reimbursements for architect services total just under 100 000 dollars to date. The plan preserves a 1929 style exterior with Italian roof tiles and hitching posts, adds dining and meeting spaces, a heated waiting area and bus docks, and includes parking. The council also leases the old U S Customs building to the Amistad Chamber of Commerce for 150 dollars a month with 250 dollars in utilities, half time occupancy starting December 15. A Planning and Zoning hearing was canceled due to insufficient members.
