The Pasco, Wash., city council recently approved a contract with HDR Engineering to design a rail line extension to a new 400-acre industrial park.

The city is working with the Tri-City Development Council, Port of Pasco, BNSF Railway Co. and private landowners to develop the Heritage Industrial Center. After the rail line is designed, the parties plan to seek state or federal grant money to help fund the $1.3 million extension.

The Port of Pasco recently approved a contract to install a mainline switch on rail located at the industrial park’s west end. The port also worked with property owners to obtain land for an easterly rail line extension to the park.
