Evansville-area megasite earns national recognition for development readiness EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - The Ports of Indiana and the Evansville Regional Economic Partnership officials say that the 544-acre Mount Vernon Megasite has earned a Silver designation through REDI Sites. According to a press release, the megasite is located in Posey County and offers barge, rail and highway access, served by OmniTRAX rail operations and positioned in a designated foreign trade zone. REDI Sites evaluated the property across five weighted categories, which are Utilities, Ownership & Entitlements, Environmental, Ease of Development and Logistics, with documentation reviewed by Terracon, an independent engineering firm, and by REDI Reviewers drawn from the Guild’s membership. E-REP pursued the REDI Sites designation in partnership with Ports of Indiana, OmniTRAX, CenterPoint Energy and other regional partners. Officials say the result is a nationally recognized, third-party-validated credential that the partners will use in proactive outreach to site selection consultants and corporate decision-makers. “Few sites in the country can match what Mount Vernon offers – true barge, rail and highway access anchored in a foreign trade zone,” said Jody Peacock, CEO of the Ports of Indiana. “Earning this Silver designation through REDI Sites confirms what we’ve long known: this megasite is ready to compete for major projects, and we’re proud to have that backed by an independent, national standard.” Copyright 2026 WFIE.
