Community members are invited this Thursday to a Public Open House meeting to learn more about a major renovation project at the William H. Gray III 30th Street Station. The meeting will take place from 4-7 p.m. on November 16 at the station (behind Amtrak Ticket Office). It is hosted by Amtrak and Plenary Infrastructure Philadelphia (PIP), the private contractor that will implement and maintain the station improvements for the next 50 years as part of a public-private partnership agreement.

The project is being implemented in phases. The design phase began in 2021 and the construction phase, which is also divided in phases/milestones, is scheduled to begin this Fall. Amtrak operations will continue during the renovation period.

The construction phase includes the following milestones:

• “State of Good Repair” – building repairs and infrastructure improvement
• Station retail expansion and modernization
• Amtrak corporate office renovations
• Station operations consolidation
• Amtrak Metropolitan Lounge renovation
• Market Street Plaza (The Porch at 3oth Street Station) expansion

The full station renovation is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
