City and economic development officials in Terre Haute want to reroute railroad traffic out of the western Indiana city to an 8,000-acre site east of town near Interstate 70.
Mayor Kevin Burke, who announced the proposed Hoosier Inland Port on Monday, said the site near Terre Haute International Airport-Hulman Field would be a hub for exchanging air and railroad cargo, according to The Tribune-Star. It would require a new interstate interchange.
The Economic Development Corp. is talking with Colorado owners of the site, and local legislators will ask that a summer legislative committee study the idea, Burke said.
