The Fort Wayne Redevelopment Commission today authorized its staff to begin formal negotiations with Transpoint on the sale of the property, located at the northeast corner of Adams Center and Paulding Roads. If plans materialize as expected, the ramp could begin limited operations in late 2007 or early 2008. The ramp would serve as a key rail\/truck interchange point for international shipping containers. The proposed park would also be home to ancillary development such as distribution centers, warehouses and truck terminals.<\/p>\n<p>RailAmerica will provide rail service as a key link to and from the Chicago area. Most international container shipments in and out of the Fort Wayne region flow through Chicago. Development of the ramp and park in Fort Wayne will speed shipments and save money by avoiding the congestion and delays often associated with container traffic in the Chicago area. The region to be served by the ramp and park includes, but is not limited to, portions of southern Michigan, western Ohio, and eastern Indiana. Cost effective service may also be provided to sections of southern Indiana and northern Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>A market analysis addressing the economic viability of the ramp and park is currently in its final stages. It should be completed at roughly the same time an agreement is reached on the purchase and development of the Fort Wayne Redevelopment Commission property. Sale of the property to Transpoint could be authorized as soon as the September or October meetings of the Commission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Transpoint<\/strong><br \/>\nTranspoint is a privately owned Indiana corporation that operates as a certificated Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier.
