摘要：	An Ohio transloading business has purchased 50 acres along the Ohio Riv-er with frontage on two rail lines as part of the first, $9.5 million phase of a multi-modal project.The Ohio Rail Development Commis-sion (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 com-pany purchased river frontage in 2010 to install a harbor and expanded it in 2019.The new site, purchased in sections during January and February, is one-half mile south. In addition to outside storage,the property will have warehouses and an office complex, said Natalie Brown, presi-dent of MPR Transloading & Energy Ser-vices. MPR also plans to install enough private rail for a unit train for the trans-loading of fertilizer, polyethylene, steel,salt, friction reducer, pipe, sand and other commodities from barge to rail and rail to barge. The property has rail frontage on the Wheeling & Lake Erie and Norfolk Southern railways.The project is in the design phase,with plans to complete construction within about a year, Brown said. Some buildings on the property date back to the 1800s with the establishment of the Bellaire Nail plant, which became a divi-sion of Carnegie Steel. Most recently the property was home to Rayle Coal Com-pany, although it had been vacant for about 10 years.
