Palm Beach planning inland intermodal terminal

Palm Beach planning inland intermodal terminal    The Port of Palm Beach, Fla., is in the early stages of planning an inland intermodal terminal as a means of allowing port growth.
   Port officials say the proposed Inland Port Intermodal Cargo Industrial Complex would be built in western Palm Beach County on land now used for sugar cane cultivation, according to a report in Wednesday’s Miami Herald.
   The terminal is being patterned after inland rail facilities for the Port of Savannah that have been developed to alleviate congestion near the container terminals.
   The Port of Palm Beach has only two acres that are not under use, and the only place for additional development is away from exiting facilities, officials said.
