Work Underway on $3.2B Phoenix-Area Rail Hub
Groundwork has begun on the site of BNSF’s proposed, $3.2 billion Logistics Park Phoenix rail hub in Wittmann. Grading was expected to take place on about 350 acres in the southwest corner of land BNSF owns near 235th Avenue and the U.S. 60 in the rural, far northwest Valley,
AZBEX reports that the project is designed to integrate an intermodal facility, a logistics park, and a logistics center to expand freight capacity in Arizona.
The company is also constructing additional track as the first phase of the company’s planned intermodal facility. The site is part of a 4,300-acre property BNSF owns in the area.
BNSF touts that the project will bring 76,000+ jobs (direct, indirect, and induced) during and after construction, and generate $258 million annually in state and local taxes for Maricopa County schools, community colleges, flood control, and more.
