Norton Secures Victory for D.C. on Union Station Expansion Project in Appropriations Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) today announced that the House's fiscal year 2023 Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill includes her requested language directing the Federal Railroad Administration to continue working with the District of Columbia on the Union Station expansion project and to consider the feedback of all stakeholders, including residents of affected neighborhoods, in its planning process.

"Union Station is a historic facility," Norton said, "having been built in 1907 and is the only federally owned train station. Our conversations with the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation, the entity authorized by Congress to operate the station, Amtrak and the Federal Railroad Administration have resulted in the expansion project."
