A major shipper and holder of high quality metals wants to locate depots in Gary and East Chicago.
Metro International Trade Services LLC, of Detroit, wants to locate in those cities because of their easy access to rail and smelting operations across North America, according to Curt Felch, Metro International vice president of strategic development.
Last year, it opened a similar facility at the Port of Indiana Burns Harbor.
“We are completely full there (Burns Harbor) and it has been a big success for us,” Felch told the Gary/Chicago International Airport Authority board on Thursday.
