From the St. Louis Business Journal: More than $10 million in federal funding will help MetroLink build a new station for the Cortex innovation district between Boyle Avenue and Sarah Street.
Metro will receive $10.3 million through the federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (Tiger) grant program, which helps fund transportation projects across the country and was announced Tuesday.
That funding will cover a majority of the projected $12.9 million project cost, according to Metro Transit’s Tiger application. The rest of the money is expected to come from matching sources that have already committed but haven’t been disclosed.
