John W. Kelsey Business and Technology Park
The John W. Kelsey Business and Technology Park is certified by CSX Transportation and Austin Consulting as a CSX Select Site. This certification has ensured companies and developers that all due diligence has been completed, and the park is an ideal rail served site. All necessary permitting and licensing have been completed for the construction of additional rail infrastructure within the Park. BNSF also announced in 2017 that this site is a BNSF CERTIFIED SITE.
The 438.92-acre John W. Kelsey Business and Technology Park was been established at the intersection of the BNSF and CSX railroads. This unique setting offers ideal transportation opportunities for potential manufacturing and distribution clients. In addition, Illinois Western Railroad provides shortline service in the park and offers daily service between the BNSF and CSX lines. The John W. Kelsey Business and Technology Park is located 1 mile from Interstate 70 and less than one hour from downtown St. Louis and St. Louis Lambert International Airport. The Park was recently improved with the Samuel Andrews Drive overpass which links the Park directly to Illinois Rt. 40 and Interstate 70 less than one mile away.
