Railex LLC coming to Rotterdam
Capital News 9 web staff -- October 27, 2005
A new company is coming to Schenectady County and bringing with it the promise of 300 new jobs and plans to save millions of gallons of fuel each year.
Railex LLC will use the Rotterdam Industrial Park as its East Coast hub to move food products across the United States by train instead of tractor trailers. The new facility will be a 200-thousand-square-foot, $18-million building.
Local leaders said besides the addition of jobs, we'll all see the benefits trickle down.

Metroplex Chairman Ray Gillen said, "For area shoppers, that means that we should be able to substantially reduce the prices of product because the cost of transportation is significantly less. So not only does it benefit the county and everything in terms of industrial development, but it's really going to benefit the consumers in this area."
