We’re getting ready to do a grating project on 75 acres to create a shovel ready site.” Muskingum County Port Authority Executive Director, Eric Reed said. “At our Eastpointe Business Park, we are doing some enhancements, adding a health clinic, as well as a major project. We’re adding two transloading rail spurs to our transloading station within the park. We’ll go from three spurs to five spurs. that project will start here this fall.”
Business parks play a vital role in the local economy by attracting companies and creating jobs for residents across the county.
