The Project at a Glance
Cole County, Missouri received an Economic Development Administration (EDA) and a Missouri Department of Transportation Freight Enhancement (FRE) grant for the construction of an industrial rail spur extension and multimodal rail transload facility within the Algoa Industrial Park area in Jefferson City, Missouri. The project will be owned by Cole County and is being developed as a Public-Private Partnership to provide access to rail service for regional industries that are not located on rail served sites. Having access to rail service will provide these industries the opportunity to ship or receive goods in rail car quantities, which has been shown to be more cost effective, more reliable, and more fuel efficient than transportation via truck. Rail service will also provide industries access to long distance and overseas markets which would not otherwise be accessible using highway transportation.
