- Two parcels on the border of Atlantic Station and Westside could feature Amtrak, Greyhound stations
According to a document posted to SRTA's website, Carter has been notified that it made the best offer on the land. The firm, the state, and the owner of the adjoining property will now sit down to negotiate a final sale. (Specifically, SRTA has awarded a nonbinding "notice of intent to award," which is legal-ese for "take a seat and let's talk.") SRTA's board would have to approve any deal.
Carter is in the process of securing leases with Amtrak and Greyhound, which means the area could serve a role as a major transportation hub in the city. (Hey, maybe it could help relieve some traffic woes along Northside Drive?)
Carter declined comment. Efforts to reach a SRTA spokeswoman after business hours were unsuccessful.
