Logistics Plus will celebrate its recent purchase of the Union Station building at West 14th and Sassafras streets with a ceremony Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.

The Erie-based global freight management company in October bought the downtown landmark for $1.5 million. Logistics Plus is refurbishing the building's third floor for its corporate headquarters and has plans to create a railroad museum, retail shops and art exhibit space on its first and second floors.

In addition, Logistics Plus recently opened a newsstand and coffee and bagel shop, Union Station News, on the building's first floor.

Wednesday's ceremony will be held 76 years to the day after the Union Station building was officially opened.

Matthew Griswold, then the chief executive for what is now GE Transportation Systems, gave the keynote speech when the historic train station opened in 1927.

GE Transportation Systems was Logistics Plus' first customer and is a key reason why the company chose to bring its corporate headquarters to Erie.
