The roar of city busses and the hearty aroma of diesel will soon be but a memory at the intersection of West Cary St. and Davis Ave. as GRTC board members voted today to sell the historic transportation hub.

The non-profit company's board voted 3-0 today to authorize the sale of the nearly 7 acre plot of land to the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority.

While the sounds of busses may be going away neighbors shouldn't count on the property to be quiet for long. According to GRTC the company will spend $1-$2 million to clean up accumulated environmental hazards on the property including six underground fuel tanks.

RRHA's plan for the newly acquired property remains unclear at this time.
