Commercial Tax Savings – Great Lakes Terminal Railroad
In a complex, multi-owner industrial site, Fulcrum managed a shared railroad designation that continues to generate savings and operational clarity more than a decade later.
Great Lakes Terminal Railroad
At a sprawling industrial site once home to a steel operation, the new owners had ambitious plans for a multi-use logistics hub. One company took the lion’s share of the land while a Chinese firm acquired the adjoining parcel to refurbish CTA train cars. They even formed an association to jointly manage shared road access. Fulcrum’s task was to define the rail-eligible portion of the site, coordinate with the STB, and manage a complex assessment transition. Years later, the site continues to thrive under the same designation. The client, a dynamic business leader, remains deeply appreciative and ready to vouch for Fulcrum’s work.
