Megasite Opportunity The Mount Vernon megasite designation and ongoing REDI Sites accreditation create a clear selling point for general contracting, logistics developers, and manufacturers seeking rail, river, and highway access. Leverage this to target companies looking to scale with multimodal freight access and state-backed development financing.

Multimodal Growth Ports of Indiana operates across three ports with river and lake access and owns three shortline railroads and multimodal industrial parks. This presents cross-sell opportunities to logistics providers, freight forwarders, 3PLs, and manufacturers needing integrated water and rail solutions plus potential foreign-trade zone benefits.

Public-Private Financing The organization emphasizes self-funded operations and access to statewide foreign-trade and development financing programs, complemented by recent BUILD grant support. This signals readiness to explore joint ventures, financing-backed site development, and incentive packages with developers and anchor tenants.

Strategic Leadership CEO Jody Peacock’s recognized leadership and industry awards position Ports of Indiana as a credible partner for large-scale industrial projects. Use executive-level engagement to accelerate discussions with corporate decision-makers seeking reliable, government-aligned infrastructure partners.

Expansion Momentum Recent $25M BUILD grant and $32M Jeffersonville port expansion, plus $100M investment in docks and rail, indicate aggressive capacity growth. Target manufacturers and distribution centers planning capacity expansion or relocations to Indiana’s inland port system and its favorable logistics ranking.
