Ohio River Triple Rail MegaSite

This strategically located site offers more than 800 acres, with the potential to expand to 1,000 acres. It provides exceptional multimodal transportation access, including triple rail service with direct connections in all four directions—North, South, East, and West—from a single location. Rail service is provided by Paducah & Louisville Railway (P&L), CN, and BNSF.

The property also offers direct river access at the confluence of the Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers and is located just miles from both the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and the Mississippi River. Zoned for heavy manufacturing, the site is ideally suited for large-scale industrial development and operations requiring efficient access to major rail and water transportation networks.

The local community and state have invested heavily in this site, demonstrating strong support and a long-term commitment to its success. As of 2025, the site has been fully cleared and grubbed, and dirtwork has raised the core area one foot above the 500-year flood plain. New sewer infrastructure is in place, and a new access road is scheduled for construction, with traffic flow anticipated by fall 2026.
