About this grant
The North Carolina Department of Transportation's Rail Industrial Access Program provides state funds to help construct or refurbish railroad spur tracks required by a new or expanding company. The program aims to modernize railroad tracks to ensure effective and efficient freight deliveries, with funding contingent on the company's application approval before deciding to locate or expand in North Carolina.
Eligibility details
- Notes: Local governments, community development agencies, railroads, and companies themselves are eligible. Approval depends on factors including potential new jobs, capital investment, rail use, and local economic conditions. Projects considering in-state locations only or those not anticipated to yield significant economic impact do not qualify.
