CLINTON, Iowa – The Lincolnway Industrial Rail & Air Park in this community continues to attract new businesses and development.
Lincolnway is an industrial park designed for heavy and light industries, and has both rail and air access.
One of the latest developments is coming from Super 8 Logistics, LLC, which will build a new 100,000-square-foot warehouse and intermodal facility led by Clausen Companies CEO Pete Clausen. This project, slated for development later this year, includes a 35-acre land acquisition from the City of Clinton and will utilize Union Pacific rail service – reinforcing the park’s multimodal transportation value, according to a Grow Clinton news release.
Clausen Companies is a provider of trucking and warehousing services, and is based in Clinton.
No other details on the project, including the financial investment, were disclosed.
To support the facility’s utility needs, Eastern Iowa Light & Power Cooperative will extend electric service with an infrastructure investment totaling $38,716, funded by Grow Clinton, the nonprofit organization leading economic and community development in the greater Clinton region.
“Eastern Iowa Light and Power Cooperative is proud to support the Lincolnway Industrial Rail and Air Park,” Don Roth, the utility’s division manager of member relations, said in the news release. “This investment reflects a strong commitment to strategic community growth and long-term economic development.”
Mr. Clausen added: “On behalf of everyone involved in the Super 8 Logistics development project, I want to thank Grow Clinton for stepping up and serving as the utility developer. Their leadership and support are a testament to the organization’s mission to promote business growth, build community, and advocate for sustainable economic success across the greater Clinton region.”
In another development, Iowa American Water Company recently extended a 12-inch water main through the park, simultaneously benefiting the neighboring community of Low Moor, according to Grow Clinton.
“Ensuring reliable access to utilities like electricity, gas, sewer, water, and fiber internet is essential for business attraction and retention,” said Grow Clinton President and CEO Andy Sokolovich said in the release.
Located along U.S. Highway 30, Lincolnway Industrial Rail & Air Park has rapidly emerged as a hub for industrial growth and private-sector investment, including Atlas Roofing Corporation’s $250 million asphalt shingle plant now under construction. If all goes according to plan, the new Atlas plant will be completed in the summer of 2026, Atlas company leaders recently said.
