It will include 19 bus bays with real-time arrival information, an indoor waiting area, customer service and ticket sales as well as a small retail space.

All interested parties are asked to attend the meeting at The Hall, located at 202 N. Alabama, at 10 a.m. Parking is available in the lot directly north of The Hall, with access from Alabama Street.

The award of contract will be announced on Aug. 29, ground breaking will occur this fall and the transit center is set to be in full operation by the end of 2015.
