Through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Enhancement
Act [ISTEA] Program, many of the Train Depots in Virginia
are being renovated for adaptive reuse to benefit the
communities in which they are located. There have been a
variety of uses ranging from restaurants, visitor centers,
offices, museums. If anyone wishes information regarding
these projects, they should contact:

This is an outstanding program that is bringing benefits to
many neglected areas of significance to our heritage.
