Union Station will have over $6 million in repairs done to fix a leaky roof.
The Worcester Redevelopment Authority voted Friday to approve up to $6.25 million for a full-scale repair of leaks in the Union Station roof.
The decision leaves the Worcester Redevelopment Authority (WRA) on the hook for $1.1 to $1.25 million of the repairs, with the Federal Transit Administration covering the remaining amount, or approximately $4.4 to 5 million.
The WRA was notified in November the iconic train station, which was brought back into service in 2000 after sitting dormant since 1974, needed extensive repairs to fix leaks in the roof. The price for three levels of fixes, ranging from short-term repairs to the long-term fix the WRA went with, started at $1.3 million.
To kick off the repairs, the WRA approved up to $675,000 for Worcester architecture firm Lamoureux Pagano & Associates, Inc. to undertake design work for the repair. The WRA will then review the designed fix and put the work out to bid.
