OmniTRAX Inc. has begun rail operations at the River Ridge Commerce Center, a 6,000-acre industrial and business development park in southern Indiana.
A long-term partnership with the River Ridge Development Authority to develop the park’s rail infrastructure and tenant base became effective on Nov. 1, OmniTRAX officials said in a press release.
The agreement with River Ridge provides existing OmniTRAX customers a centralized hub to reach the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast markets, they said. In addition, OmniTRAX will collaborate with state and local officials to attract new park projects that increase the economic development of both rail and non-rail served industries.
"The expansion of the River Ridge rail system unlocks the potential to develop more than 10 million square feet of industrial space, bringing potentially billions of dollars of capital investment and thousands of high-quality jobs to Charlestown, Jeffersonville, Utica and the surrounding communities," said OmniTRAX Executive Vice President Scott Brinner.
River Ridge’s central location within the strategic Louisville, Kentucky metro region has attracted companies in sectors including aerospace, automotive, food and beverage, information technology, life sciences and pharmaceuticals.
