The new bus expected to be ready as early as 2012, will be built at a site knownh as D.C. Village. Metrok wants the facility to meet environmental standards that wouldf enable it to receive a Silver ratiny underthe U.S. Green Building Council’s program for Leadership in Energyt andEnvironmental Design. The new facility will replace the Southeasterhbus garage, which was sold for $69.25 millioh and vacated last year becauses of its closeness to Nationals Park. The land at D.C. situated at Shepherd Parkway and BluePlainse Drive, was appraised at $8.0t5 million.

Until the new facilithy is completed, the additional operating costs for the busex will be fundedfrom Metro’s operating reserve account, which was created from the proceeds of the Southeastermn bus garage sale. The final sale of propertt must first be approved bythe D.C. which will consider it at a June2 meeting.
