Multimodal

In late 2007 – the TCW and Carver County Economic Development Department partnered in a study to determin if and where a Multi-Modal facility could be placed within the County.

It was determined that to allow for growth – certain critea must be in place for the selection process.

  • Site must have at lease 600 usable acres
  • Site must not be in any city/township 2030 projected growth area
  • Must have sufficient road/highway access.

results of the study are outlined in this presentation. (LINK)

Due to the study - Mutli-Modal site have been included in  2030 Comprehensive plan.   This is not to say that we must wait until 2030 to develope the area , just that the long range palns show the areas as industrial.

The concept plan for this location is to put in a facility (not quite as large) as the one Union Pacific is putting in Joliet. …….
