CSX Adds Fourteen Rail Served Properties Across Eight States to Select Site Program - Seite 2

In addition to appearing on the Select Sites list, all sites in the latest group of designees will receive valuable feedback regarding potential areas of improvement. They are encouraged to engage with CSX on how to continually improve their appeal to potential developers. 

In 2023, CSX partnered with Global Location Strategies (GLS), one of the world’s leading corporate location strategy firms, to identify and prime sites for future industrial development. The program uses site selection software powered by Strata Platforms, a company that emerged from GLS. CSX works with landowners and economic development organizations to capture site-specific information in Lasso related to acreage, site characteristics, utility infrastructure and more. The data is analyzed using customized criteria and scoring scales designed by GLS to evaluate CSX-served sites and identify opportunities for enhancing their marketability. The analysis includes environmental, social and governance factors, such as renewable energy usage, community impacts, and brownfield site reuse.
