Commercial Tax Savings – Brookfield Railroad (Sweetener Supply)
Fulcrum structured dual facility designations and supported complex filings, enabling Sweetener Supply to operate under favorable tax treatment while advocating nationally on related issues.
Brookfield Railroad (Sweetener Supply)
This case highlights Fulcrum’s ability to deliver layered value. Sweetener Supply, a major distributor of corn syrup and granulated sugar, initially established two transload facilities—one in Brookfield and one in Bridgeview. Only Brookfield was activated, but Fulcrum helped structure both. The client experienced delays getting the site off local assessments, but ultimately succeeded with Fulcrum’s ongoing administrative support. Notably, the owner joined a high-profile STB hearing in Washington to voice frustration over demurrage charges, bringing national attention to the struggles of small rail-served businesses. The railroad continues to operate successfully today.
