History

Station site in October 2013

The station was expected to be complete by 2010, but was delayed due to a lack of funding in the capital program.^[1][2][3] A groundbreaking ceremony was held on October 18, 2013, with a projected opening date of sometime in 2015.^[4] The opening date was then pushed back to August 2016, with delays caused in part by the addition of storm resiliency measures.^[5] The station's opening was pushed back once again to November 2016 due to changes in the Electric Distribution Room.^[6] In October 2016, yet again, it was pushed back to January 2017, because of the redesign of the electrical distribution room, the exterior wall panel, and various communications issues.^[7]
