An Ohio transloading business has purchased 50 acres along the Ohio River with frontage on two rail lines as part of the first, $9.5 million phase of a multimodal project.
The Ohio Rail Development Commission (ODC) approved a $500,000 loan to Mountaineer Products Inc., doing business as MPR Supply Chain Solutions, on March 10 as part of MPR’s plans for the site.
MPR currently has a 17-acre facility in Bellaire, Ohio, at Ohio River Mile 92.5. The property is in an industrial park along I-470, I-70 and State Route 7. The company purchased river frontage in 2010 to install a harbor and expanded it in 2019.
