GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - After years of planning and construction, the expanded Rapid bus system's Wealthy Operations Center officially opened Saturday with a ribbon cutting that included US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

Renovations began in December 2009 on the $32.4 million project, which included $10.6 million in grants from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act -- aka Stimulus Money.

The facility's size was doubled and now has room for nearly 180 buses. Maintenance bays, office space and secured parking for employees also were added.

LaHood was joined by US Sen. Carl Levin, Walker City Commissioner Barb Holt (who is also the board chair for The Rapid), Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell and Jeff Cranson from MDOT. Rapid CEO Peter Varga introduced each speaker.
