Louisiana Senator Francis Thompson called it “a new day in Madison Parish” Wed., July 1, at the Tallulah Chamber of Commerce meeting, where it was announced that Continental Rail has purchased the railroad track running through Madison Parish.
Both Continental Rail CEO John Marino and Vice President J.D. Ventreck were on hand Wednesday to discuss some of the broad strokes of the company’s acquisition of the railroad. Ventreck said the company will relocate offices from Monroe to a site at the Madison Parish Port and will also be making future hires from the local area.
Project description: This EDA investment upgrades rail infrastructure and replaces switches where the Madison Parish Port rail line intersects with the mainline railroad paralleling US 65 to minimize disruption caused by natural disaster. This project will increase resiliency of the region and the ability of local businesses to compete globally.
