We also own and are developers of two industrial parks - the Warren Commerce Park in Warren, Ohio and the Youngstown Commerce Park in North Jackson, Ohio. In the 410 acres comprising these two industrial parks there are 27 companies that occupy over 1,000,000 square feet of space and employ 1000 people MVEDC entered the railroad business in 1985, when Conrail abandoned the Youngstown & Austintown Industrial Railroad. We formed the Economic Development Rail Corporation (EDRC) which purchased the 2.75 mile industrial railroad and preserved 250 jobs.
Economic Development Rail II Corporation (EDRIIC) was formed in 1994 and purchased the CSX Railroad's North Warren Lead. This 3 mile industrial railroad serves industries in Warren. More recently, EDRIIC purchased 3.9 miles of Conrail's Freedom Secondary Railroad in Warren and connected the two Warren roads together to provide improved rail service.
Our "Assistance to Business" Program finances day care centers and provides technical procurement for various federal government agencies plus technical assistance for companies and lenders.
We're located within 250 miles of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati and Toledo, and within 500 miles of New York, Chicago, Louisville, Nashville, Norfolk, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Washington, DC. And just beyond 500 miles are Atlanta and St. Louis.
