Centre Port to break ground on rail park

摘要

North America's largest inland port, CentrePort Canada in Manitoba, is building a new rail park, and has attracted BroadGrain Commodities Inc as a significant anchor customer. BroadGrain will invest up to C$25M in a new bulk grain handling and bean-processing facility at the new CentrePort Rail Park. Subject to completing due diligence and an "offer to purchase" agreement, BroadGrain's new op- eration will be located on approximately 29 acres. The operation will include loading 150-car unit trains with Manitoba commodities including wheat, canola, soya beans, corn and specialty crops. The facility will be the Toronto-based firm's flagship terminal in Western Canada. "BroadGrain's project is an ideal anchor for our new rail park," said Diane Gray, president and CEO of CentrePort. "They are in need of high-volume rail services in order to move the highest quality of products, which ultimately is the objective of our first phase of development."
