| 词条 | CenterPoint Intermodal Center |
| 释义 |
The Intermodal Center includes a 785-acre Union Pacific Railroad complex just south of Joliet and a 770-acre BNSF Railway complex further to the southwest.[2] The facility's location was formerly part of the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant. Construction of the Intermodal Center began as part of the Joliet Arsenal redevelopment effort after 2000.[3] The village of Elwood supported this with $150 million of TIF funding.[4] Local concernsAs the freight traffic from Centerpoint grew, neighboring communities began to complain of safety, traffic and noise impacts. In 2014 the Village of Elwood attempted to enforce designated truck routes, but Centerpoint fought this in court.[5] Elwood has also sued Centerpoint regarding the use of their TIF funds, claiming that the project has generated less revenue and fewer jobs than promised.[6] Mayor Bill Offerman explained, "Instead of a vibrant retail base, good-paying jobs and needed tax dollars that it promised, CenterPoint has given us a barrage of heavy truck traffic that puts residents in harm's way, low-paying warehouse jobs that make it impossible for middle-class families to live on and a mere fraction of the revenue it touted (the village) would receive in return."[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www3.illinois.gov/PressReleases/ShowPressRelease.cfm?SubjectID=11&RecNum=9588|title=Governor Quinn Breaks Ground on New Shipping Facility in Joliet Intermodal Park |accessdate=1 February 2015|website=Illinois.gov|date=1 August 2011}} {{coord|41|23|27|N|88|9|8|W|region:US-IL_type:landmark|display=title}}{{US-rail-transport-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.transportation.northwestern.edu/docs/2012/2012.02.23.Mullen_Presentation.pdf|format=PDF|title= The Mullen Presentation|accessdate=1 February 2015|publisher=Northwestern University Transportation Center|date=23 February 2012}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.jada.org/about-jada.htm|accessdate=1 February 2015|title=About JADA|website=Jada.org|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150216121647/http://jada.org/about-jada.htm|archivedate=16 February 2015|df=}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.buglenewspapers.com/joliet/article_62ff9a12-7173-11e2-95bb-0019bb30f31a.html|title=Elwood sues CenterPoint over TIF dollars for intermodal| work=Bugle Newspapers| accessdate=1 February 2015| date=7 February 2013| first=Nick| last=Reiher| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130211061702/http://www.buglenewspapers.com/joliet/article_62ff9a12-7173-11e2-95bb-0019bb30f31a.html| archivedate=11 February 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-07-09/news/ct-elwood-fights-trucks-met-20140709_1_elwood-truck-traffic-village-board-member|title=Small town Elwood fights big-time truck traffic|work=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=1 February 2015|date=9 July 2014|first=Vikki Ortiz |last=Healy| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304081043/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-07-09/news/ct-elwood-fights-trucks-met-20140709_1_elwood-truck-traffic-village-board-member| archivedate=4 March 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-08-25/business/ct-biz-0825-incentives-elwood-20130825_1_centerpoint-properties-trust-industrial-park-cautionary-tale|title=Elwood sues industrial developer over incentives deal|work=Chicago Tribune| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304103421/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-08-25/business/ct-biz-0825-incentives-elwood-20130825_1_centerpoint-properties-trust-industrial-park-cautionary-tale| archivedate=4 March 2016}} 7. ^{{cite news| url=http://www.chicagobusiness.com/realestate/20150617/CRED03/150619834/village-amps-up-fight-against-centerpoint| title=Village amps up fight against CenterPoint| website=Crain's Chicago Business: Chicago Real Estate Daily| first=Ryan| last=Ori| date=17 June 2015}} 2 : Container terminals|Rail infrastructure in Illinois |
