To address growing demand for consumer goods throughout the Chicagoland area and the Midwest, CN is proposing to build a state-of-the art intermodal terminal on available land adjacent to the communities of Minooka and Channahon in Grundy County, Illinois.

CN’s investment in the new terminal will support the local, state, and national economies by supporting job growth, generating additional tax revenue, and creating more efficient access to export markets across the US, Mexico, Canada and abroad, connecting Chicagoland to the continent and all three coasts – Atlantic, Pacific, and the Gulf.

The privately funded terminal project is designed to limit impact to adjacent roads. At full buildout, the Logistics Park is projected to generate approximately $16.6 million in annual property tax revenue, with the intermodal terminal expected to add an estimated $8.3 million, benefiting local schools, parks, libraries, and public safety and fire protection.
