TOMES JOINS GROUNDBREAKING OF NEW CGB EXPANSION: State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville, third from right) joins other state and local officials at the groundbreaking of the new Consolidated Grain and Barge Corporation soybean facility expansion at the Ports of Indiana-Mount Vernon.
The new expansion is the largest investment in the port in more than 20 years and is designed to triple grain handling capacity at the Mount Vernon port. The expansion includes new grain storage and truck unloading facilities, as well as a conveyor system that transfers grain between multiple sites.
"The Mount Vernon port is the largest in the state and ships exports around the world," Tomes said. "I am excited to see how this expansion will help increase trade and support our Hoosier farmers."
