MMPA Project receives national award
The J. Douglas Gaylon Depot won top award in the 2006 Federal Highway Administration’s Excellence in Highways contest in the Intermodal Transportation Facilities category. The Federal agency cited the facility for excellence in architecture, engineering and functionality.
Built in 1927 as a Southern Railway train terminal, the Depot was renovated and reopened in August 2003 to serve as a multi-modal transportation complex.
The lower level of the Depot was designed for use as community and business events as well as AMTRAK functions. The upper level houses the intercity transit and Greyhound functions. The restoration and addition of track side canopies accommodates the transit and Greyhound bus slips.
