Iowa Interstate Railroad Ltd. (IAIS) announced a groundbreaking ceremony will be held May 15 for a renewable energy distribution center in Newton, Iowa.

The center will feature the latest technologies designed to facilitate the efficient distribution of renewable energy sources, contributing to higher sustainability, IAIS officials said in a press release.

The project marks the railroad's commitment to advancing clean energy infrastructure in the region, they said.

“This new distribution center at Newton — a 100% private sector investment — will provide wind energy shippers a first-class facility to safely transload and store their components," said IAIS Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Carrie Evans. "With our unique connections to every Class I carrier, we are excited about the benefits our distribution center will provide to customers by enhancing wind energy supply-chain efficiencies both into and out of Iowa."
