A new Metro station is open in Alexandria's Potomac Yard, a developing neighborhood home to the future Virginia Tech Innovation Campus. Reply ALEXANDRIA, VA — Fifteen years ago, Mayor Justin Wilson, then a City Councilmember, partnered with then-Councilmember Rob Krupicka on a memo seeking to take action on opening the Potomac Yard Metro. It was only fitting that Wilson and Krupicka were there to ride the first train just after 5 a.m. on Friday. "I am now the sixth Alexandria mayor who has stood up here and eagerly awaited the opportunity to say these words: Alexandria, your Potomac Yard station is open," Wilson said at the station's grand opening Friday.
