PERRYSBURG, Ohio - The Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal in North Baltimore will feature impressive technology and is slated to help create thousands of jobs, according to Peter Craig, terminal superintendent with CSX Intermodal Terminals, Inc.

He spoke at the August luncheon meeting of the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce held Wednesday at the Carranor Hunt and Polo Club.

Craig described the $175 million facility as the "cornerstone" of the National Gateway, a public-private partnership noted on its website as "a double stack cleared, state-of-the-art rail corridor linking the East Coast's international deepwater ports and major consumption markets with the population and manufacturing centers of the Midwest."

Work began on the project in 2009, and 210,000 man-hours have been expended on it thus far.
