Capitol Building Supply,
Inc., based in the Vienna/Washington area, is proposing to
open a facility in Fauquier County and is interested in the
construction of a rail spur on property containing
approximately 12 acres, located on Whiting Road in
Marshall, Virginia. The company, a wholesale construction
supplier, will bring drywall products in by rail
(Norfolk-Southern Railroad) and transfer them into temporary
warehouse storage. Once completed, the site will receive up
to six railcars a week of drywall. This is equal to 24
tractor trailer loads that would otherwise be transported by
highway. The contract owners are requesting support from the
Fauquier County Board of Supervisors, in the form of a
resolution, for application for funding assistance from the
Railroad Industrial Access Program in the amount of
$375,000, administered by the Virginia Department of
Business Assistance and the Virginia Department of Rail and
Public Transportation. There are no local funds requested;
however, each application under this program must be
accompanied by a resolution from the local governing body
showing support for the project.
