Union Pacific Railroad has designated a pair of “focus sites” in Utah, providing businesses additional connections to the railroad’s 32,000-mile network. The Utah sites are in Cedar City and Grantsville.
Focus sites are large-scale development sites suited for custom-built warehouses or industrial facilities. These sites are railroad hubs where Union Pacific can concentrate resources, effectively manage logistics and provide targeted services for its customers, the railroad company said.
In addition to the two Utah sites, Union Pacific also named focus sites in Shawnee, Oklahoma; and San Antonio and Texarkana, Texas. In all, Union Pacific has 32 focus sites across its network. Combined, the five sites have 15,000 acres available for development.
“Our team of regional experts specialize in finding you the best site to build your business,” said Kenny Rocker, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Union Pacific. “We work with customers to understand their business needs and find solutions to win in the marketplace.”
In addition to focus sites, Union Pacific provides a site solutions tool with more than 6,000 potential properties available to its customers for development. They are all located within 800 meters of its rail lines.
Union Pacific operates in 23 western states, with major operations in Salt Lake City.
