How Afton Terminal Services Reduced Tax Bill By 55.00%
At first, Afton was hesitant. Based in St. Louis—where their name appears across properties and operations—the company worried that seeking designation might draw unwanted scrutiny from local assessors.
But with service from a major carrier continuing to decline, they made the decision to take control. After consulting with rail officials and evaluating on-the-ground inefficiencies, Afton moved forward. Fulcrum guided the process, and the transition proved smooth and uncontested. Today, the company operates with greater independence—and enjoys meaningful tax savings as a result.
