Nearly $1.4M heading to Logan County for rail improvements

FRANKFORT, Ky. – On Friday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced a nearly $6 million state investment to enhance Kentucky’s rail and riverports, and we’ll see some of that funding in Logan County.

A total of $5,086,877 was awarded to Logan Aluminum, Inc., Norfolk Southern Railway, Owensboro Riverport Authority and Wieland North America Recycling to deliver four improvement projects that expand rail and connections.

In Logan County, around $1,457,000 will go to the northwest and southwest yard track extension project, which consists of adding additional railroad tracks onsite to increase capacity.
