$21 Million Allocated to Port of Moses Lake Rail Project

The Washington State Legislature included a $21 million allocation to the Port of Moses Lake in the just-adopted 2015-2017 state transportation package. The money will go to design and construct rail access connecting Grant County International Airport and the Wheeler Industrial Corridor to existing interstate railroads north and south of Moses Lake.

This was a much-needed and long-awaited development. Rail access makes Moses Lake a triple threat in intermodal transportation - rail, truck and air - and makes the expanding industrial hub even more attractive to businesses looking at possible relocation.
