The Governor of West Virginia Earl Ray Tomblin has jointly announced with the Secretary of Transportation Paul Mattox that the state has honored Mountaineer Contractors Inc with a $27.4 million contract to build the Prichard Intermodal Facility off Route 52 in Wayne County, W.Va.

The Norfolk Southern Railway will operate the facility which has been scheduled to open by 2014.

The Governor said the terminal results from public and private partnerships stemming from NS’ Heartland Corridor project, which was created to facilitate more efficient intermodal movements between the Norfolk, Va., port region and Midwestern markets in and around Chicago and Columbus, Ohio.

Tomblin said : \"By making the Mountain State more accessible, the Prichard Intermodal Facility will be instrumental in encouraging economic development in the region as well as providing employment opportunities for West Virginians\".

Mattox informed the facility will receive a federal $12 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant as well as funds from the state’s Special Rail and Intermodal Enhancement Fund.
