OmniTRAX and Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership launch rail-ready sites program to bring jobs and growth to NW Ohio

Sep 30, 2020

OmniTRAX Inc., a comprehensive logistics solutions provider and affiliate of The Broe Group, is launching its Rail-Ready Sites program on the Northern Ohio & Western Railway (NOW) with support from the Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership. The Rail-Ready Sites program connects companies looking to maximize supply chain performance with rail-served properties.

OmniTRAX and Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership are marketing three initial sites on the NOW, with parcels ranging from 14 to 72 acres. NOW, which interchanges with Class 1 railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern, currently works with companies in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, as well as producers of limestone, lime and pressed board. 

“The I-75 corridor in Northwestern Ohio is bustling due to its proximity to several major markets and great infrastructure. The sites we’ve identified with the Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership take advantage of these benefits and the area’s growing industrial base provides great product for attracting new industries,” said Ean Johnson, Vice President of Industrial Development at OmniTRAX.

David Zak, President & CEO of Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership, said, “Seneca County continues to experience strong economic growth due to its strong workforce, business-friendly climate, and local government support. Being able to use a short line transportation company like OmniTRAX also delivers an additional advantage for companies considering siting facilities here.”
