Plans to build a permanent, multi-commodity transload facility at a prime location on the campus will enhance the center’s ability to handle more than just aggregate materials, while also attracting new businesses that require seamless transportation and logistics. By improving throughput and providing greater flexibility, TexAmericas Center aims to strengthen its position as a key player in regional and national supply chains, solidifying its leadership in industrial development and offering improved services to businesses across multiple industries.
