OmniTRAX Inc. is expanding its Rail-Ready Sites to the Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub in coordination with the Effingham County Industrial Development Authority in Georgia.

OmniTRAX will work with the authority and brokerage firm Colliers International to market and develop more than a dozen sites in Savannah Gateway, ranging from 60 to more than 200 acres, OmniTRAX officials said in a press release.

OmniTRAX's Rail-Ready Sites program aims to connect rail-served properties with shippers seeking to maximize supply-chain performance.

Located near the Port of Savannah and CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway lines, the sites are ideal locations for plastics, aerospace, automotive, advanced industrial manufacturing, and logistics and distribution center operations, company officials said.

"With great domestic and logistics capabilities, the Savannah market is increasingly appealing to a wide variety of companies," said OmniTRAX Economic Development Director Justin Strickland.

The Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub is a 2,700-acre master plan that's certified as a Georgia Ready for Accelerated Development. OmniTRAX is constructing an industrial switcher to connect hub sites to on-property Class Is that serve the East Coast.
