BATA’s new headquarters will also be a green-ready facility built to accommodate the future electrification of its transit fleet.
The location of BATA’s new operations center located on corner of LaFranier and Hammond Roads in Garfield Township will put an emphasis on conservation. Twenty acres of the 50-acre parcel are being set aside for permanent preservation of wooded wetland protecting the headwaters of Mitchell Creek. The goal is for the wetland areas throughout the parcels to be conserved through easements granted to a local conservation organization with the hope of creating a nature preserve. BATA’s new headquarters will also be a green-ready facility built to accommodate the future electrification of its transit fleet.
