Great Plains Industrial Park Up and Running Again

 

For the first time in over 40 years, the Great Plains Industrial Park in Parsons received loaded train cars as state leaders were there for a ribbon cutting and throwing of the switch. KDOT Secretary Julie Lorenz and Secretary of Commerce David Toland were there to celebrate the arrival of the first loaded train in more than 40 years.

 

Back in December TP&L had approached Great Plains Industrial Park about being its newest distribution center. The partnership with TP&L was quickly arranged and TP&L will now ship wind energy components to the park–which currently has 27 wind turbine blades. So far the park has had one train in and two trains are expected later this week.
