CPKC yesterday announced the certification of 14 new "Site Ready" rail-served industrial development locations across six U.S. states, three Canadian provinces and two Mexican states.
The new sites open more than 6,000 acres of immediately developable land to prospective manufacturers, logistics operators and supply-chain partners, CPKC officials said in a press release.
CPKC's certified sites are located close to major markets and distribution hubs, are pre-certified for rail service and receive end-to-end expertise from the Class I, they said. The sites are certified in partnership with global engineering and construction organization Burns & McDonnell.
"Each certified location is designed to streamline development, accelerate timelines and create new value for both business and communities through unparalleled rail connectivity," said Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer John Brooks.
CPKC now has certified 22 such sites, company officials said.
