A 35-year deal between the city, state Department of Transportation and New Haven Parking Authority to operate and improve Union Station — which eventually could be a 55-year deal — is “a deal that will stand the test of time for the next 35 years,” the city’s top development officer said. It will result in the construction of a new 600-space garage with a “front-facing” component and renovate the station’s first floor, second floor and basement to create a new retail environment, according to Economic Development Administrator Michael Piscitelli. Having recently garnered the unanimous approval of the Board of Alders’ Finance Committee, the deal, contained in several different documents, is now headed for the full Board of Alders for a vote Nov. 4. The existing lease with the state expires on June 30, 2022, and all the implementation instruments must be in place before then, Piscitelli told the alders.
