Lorain Port Authority Explores Construction of Cold Storage Facility

A cold storage facility could become the latest business development coming to Lorain.

The Lorain Port Authority on Oct. 15 will unveil a plan and partnership with Tippmann Innovation, a Fort Wayne, Ind.-based company that specializes in large-size cold storage buildings.

The goal is to create “a master plan for a regional food distribution and processing hub that can reach half of the U.S. population in a day’s drive,” according to the Port.

It would sit in Lorain’s Riverbend Commerce Park on the city’s east side.

The Port and Tippman Innovation have created a conceptual drawing and a bird’s eye view of a building footprint for the storage space.
