The ground on which old "Building 22" once stood is bare, and now it has a new purpose - as the future site of a transportation hub for Citrus County.
Dignitaries and others gathered today in Lecanto at the county's vehicle maintenance complex off County Road 491 to break ground for the hub, which is expected to cost $2.338 million. The bulk of that money is coming from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grant.
