Create Inland Intermodal Business Plan
In late 2008, the organization conducted a feasibility study to evaluate the development of an
inland intermodal facility. As initially conceived, the facility would offer valueadded
logistics and transportation services and would strengthen the attractiveness of the region as a commercial center. By providing a competitive advantage to business locating near the
intermodal facility, it is anticipated that this development will stimulate new employment opportunities in
the region.
The purposes of this proposal are to develop a draft business plan for the development of the logistics
park and co-located intermodal terminal containing at a minimum a marketing plan, an operating plan
and a financing plan. Secondly the proposal shall also provide recommendations for the organizational
structure of the lead agency. Key considerations shall include multijurisdictional participation, flexible
financial structure, the ability to acquire property and operate facilities, ability to bundle and offer
investment incentive to potential tenants, and access to public funding.
