 Union Station was purchased for $ 1 @.@ 5 million by the Erie @-@ based logistics and transportation firm Logistics Plus on October 30 , 2003 . The company renovated the station 's third floor and part of the second floor for use as its corporate headquarters , thus restoring a landmark and revitalizing the surrounding neighborhood . Chief executive officer of Logistics Plus , Jim Berlin , observed that the building 's transportation motif made the building ideal . " [ T ] hough Union Station will never be the center of transportation again , " he said , " it can be a place from which transportation — global transportation — can be managed " . The original proposed plan included revamping Union Station into an urban , mixed @-@ use development with retail spaces , a pedestrian mall and a museum similar to Pittsburgh 's Station Square . In May 2007 , Logistics Plus lined the parapet of Union Station with 50 flags symbolizing the locations it does business in and the home countries of its employees .
