Claremont International Rail Park

Claremont, NC

Master planning a 200-acre rail-served industrial park in North Carolina

Ardurra has led master planning and site development for Claremont International Rail Park, a 200-acre industrial development in western North Carolina. Recognized by Norfolk Southern as a premier rail-served location and selected for the EDPNC SelectSites program, the park has made significant progress toward shovel-ready status through strategic grant funding and coordinated infrastructure planning.

Key Highlights:

  • Completed environmental surveys, topographic studies, and due diligence supporting acquisition of 135+ acres, with an additional 15 acres under option in early 2026

  • Secured Golden LEAF Foundation grant funding to advance engineering and site preparation work

  • Designed roadway and water line extensions in coordination with Norfolk Southern and the EDPNC SelectSites program

  • Continuing to advance SelectSites-funded work toward full shovel-ready certification

Through targeted grant pursuits and proactive site planning, Ardurra is positioning Claremont International Rail Park as a catalyst for industrial growth and job creation in western North Carolina.
