DETROIT (CBS Detroit) -- Amtrak will soon have a new home in Detroit.

With the help of a $10 million grant from the Biden administration, the Michigan Department of Transportation is looking to revamp the Detroit Amtrak station on Baltimore Avenue

The project includes a new building called the Detroit New Center Intermodal Facility, new bus terminals and rideshare services.

According to a Detroit Free Press report, the $10 million grant only covers a portion of the project. The state still needs to come up with the rest of the estimated price tag of $57 million.

MDOT manager Jim Shultz said the project will likely begin in 2023 with an opening date of 2025.
