around the country have discovered that rail stations are vital assets. In communities from coast-to-coast, stations spur economic development and tourism, serve as catalysts for historic preservation, offer commercial and cultural space, and are points of civic pride that set a town apart and contribute to its individual identity.</h2> <p>Since the launch of the Great American Stations Project in 2006, Amtrak has worked with several Amtrak-served communities interested in implementing station improvements ranging in all shapes and sizes. As they shared their stories, lessons learned and best practices, we recognized the value to other communities in collecting these observations in a set of short case studies.</p> <p>Each case study offers a quick “snapshot” of a station improvement project including: project overview, community benefits, keys to success, funding sources, and insight from project, municipal and civic leaders.</p> <p>As projects across the country take form, we’ll continue to add case studies as they become available. If you are the leader of an Amtrak-served community and are interested in sharing information about your station project, we would love to聽<a class="mail-link" href="mailto:greatamericanstations@amtrak.com?subject=Case%20Study%20Information">hear from you</a>.</p> <h3>Architectural & Aesthetic Improvements</h3> <p><b><a href="/why-invest/case-studies/aesthetic-improvements-cut-bank-mt">Aesthetic Improvements: Cut Bank, MT</a></b><br /> A community-led project to spruce up the building, which resembles a charming Swiss Chalet, proved the foundation for a wider city beautification effort.</p> <p><b><a href="/why-invest/case-studies/architectural-aesthetic-improvements-elizabethtown-pa">Architectural & Aesthetic Improvements: Elizabethtown, PA</a></b><br /> The town took great care to maintain the existing historic elements of its train depot, originally constructed in 1915 in a Collegiate Gothic style to match the campus of an adjacent Masonic retirement community.<br /> <div class="divider-wrap" data-alignment="default"><div data-width="100%" data-animate="" data-animation-delay="" data-color="default" class="divider-border"></div></div> <h3>Civic Pride</h3> <p><b><a href="/why-invest/case-studies/civic-pride-claremont-nh/">Civic Pride: Claremont, NH</a></b><br /> City government, with the assistance of residents, has taken a proactive approach to improving the local station in order to position it as a regional gateway.</p> <p><b><a href="/why-invest/case-studies/civic-pride-kirkwood-mo/">Civic Pride: Kirkwood, MO</a></b><br /> When the historic depot was threatened with abandonment, locals banded together to preserve a piece of their history and demonstrate pride in their community.<br /> <div class="divider-wrap" data-alignment="default"><div data-width="100%" data-animate="" data-animation-delay="" data-color="default" class="divider-border"></div></div> <h3>Cultural Space & Museums</h3> <p><b><a href="https://www.greatamericanstations.com/why-invest/case-studies/cultural-space-and-museums-norman-ok/">Cultural Space & Museums: Norman, OK</a></b><br /> The Norman depot is home to a non-profit organization that uses the bulk of the building as gallery space to showcase the work of regional artists.
