Allen Group, BNSF Railway to Develop New Intermodal Logistics Park
Posted on: Tuesday, 17 October 2006, 12:00 CDT
The Allen Group, a major developer of logistics parks and office properties throughout the US, and the BNSF Railway Company have announced a joint agreement to develop a new logistics park located near Gardner, Kansas, 25 miles southwest of Kansas City. The facility is expected to be operational by late 2008.
The two companies are currently planning a 1,000-acre logistics park, adjacent to I-35 and BNSF's transcontinental mainline. Approximately 350 acres will be designated for a new BNSF intermodal facility, with the remaining acreage dedicated for warehouse and distribution facilities by The Allen Group.
BNSF will develop and operate the new intermodal facility, which will serve as a hub for the loading and unloading of shipping containers between truck and rail modes of transportation.
"BNSF Railway and The Allen Group have a long term working relationship and we are pleased with the confidence they have demonstrated in our Company," said Richard Allen, CEO of The Allen Group. "We look forward to partnering with BNSF to create a major economic engine for jobs and new development in the region."
