CSX SELECT SITE PROGRAM Freight Rail Handbook THROUGH THE CSX SELECT SITE PROGRAM, CSX IS BUILDING A PORTFOLIO OF “CERTIFIED” RAIL-SERVED SITES THROUGHOUT THE CSX NETWORK. These properties are ready to accommodate larger, rail-served industrial end-users. The program will be limited to 20-30 sites, but as the Select Sites are developed, new sites will continue to be added to replenish the portfolio. Candidate sites for the program must have attractive characteristics for large industrial end-users and be free of “red flags” or barriers to a quick development timeline. Moreover, sites must be located in communities that are committed to attracting new industrial operations. The program’s optimal site size is 150 to 1,000 developable acres. To receive this designation, sites will need to meet a rigorous list of key criteria, including, but not limited to: • land control • infrastructure and utility availability • environmental and cultural reviews • wetland delineation • appropriate zoning and entitlement • rail serviceability • proximity to highways or interstates • other location attributes and due diligence criteria CSX has engaged Austin Consulting, the site selection division of The Austin Company, to administer the Select Site program.
