Reporter alexandria predicts 26,000 new jobs will pour into potomac yard over the next three decades. To move those workers it wants a new metro stop here along the tracks between the gw and route 1. We know once we add a critical piece of infrastructure like a rail station the jobs will follow. Reporter the city is looking at four different options, building the station right here and closer to potomac yard which would cost around 200 million. Pushing it down this way closer to the airport as much as 500 million, but it might encourage more commercial and Retail Development in here. Still the city thinks this option may be just too darn expensive. The state just kicked in a 50 million low interest loan and much of the rest of the money should come from special taxing districts and new revenue from all that development. This woman would love hopping on the metro here to take her kids downtown. I think i would like that idea, yes. Reporter critics say there is a fifth option, skip the station and let commuters depend on bus Rapid Transit from Reagan National or braddock road. Its a tremendous amount of money.
