CSX yesterday announced it added 18 rail-served properties in 12 states to its Select Site industrial development program.
Properties are evaluated and given a gold, silver or bronze rating based on desirable site characteristics and development readiness, CSX officials said in a press release. The Class I worked with more than 29 communities to identify top candidates for the program, which connects expanding companies with rail-served properties.
“Each Select Site reflects months of collaboration with landowners, counties, and utility partners that now represent a significant opportunity for economic growth,” said Kellen Riley, CSX senior director of industrial development. “By bringing these sites to market with the right due diligence already in place, we’re making it faster and easier for manufacturers to invest, build and create jobs for local communities.”
Since the last round of candidate sites were awarded in 2024, four existing Select Sites have increased their readiness and have been upgraded to gold, silver or bronze ratings.
The latest Select Sites with a gold rating are the South Coast Logistics Park, which is operated by TransloadX, in Middleborough, Massachusetts; and Montgomery Inland Logistics in Montgomery, Alabama.
New sites with a silver rating are Eastport Logistics Park, Jacksonville, Florida; Central Florida Integrated Logistics Park, Winter Haven, Florida; 5601 Bucknell Drive, South Fulton, Georgia; Madisonville Industrial Park II, Madisonville, Kentucky; and Dragway Site, Sandston Virginia.
New sites at the bronze level are: Evergreen L.P. Site, Evergreen, Alabama; Florida Crossroads Industrial Zone, Archer, Florida; CenterPoint Energy Rail Site, Evansville, Indiana; The Gil Niceley Sr. Industrial Park, Elizabethtown, Kentucky; RGL Rockcastle Mega Site, Mount Vernon, Kentucky; West Industrial Park, Russellville, Kentucky; Almonaster Avenue CSX Property, New Orleans, Louisiana; Timberswamp Road Site, Westfield, Massachusetts; Interstate 70 Gateway Industrial Park, Hagerstown, Maryland; U.S. 301 North Industrial Site, Enfield, North Carolina; Massena Industrial Land, Massena, New York; and Aldridge Site, Lesage, West Virginia.
