Private property, Main Line Norfolk Southern · Land For Sale · 3.51 AC

Rare opportunity! A privately owned 3.15-acre parcel is now available on the MAIN line of the Norfolk Southern Railway. This main line connects Atlanta, Augusta, Atlanta and Savannah, Ga. The property has an interesting history, having previously functioned as a fertilizer distribution center before being converted into a steel trestle manufacturing facility. With convenient access for 18-wheel transportation and railway usage, this property offers a unique advantage. One of the key features of this main line stop is its ability to accommodate the siding of up to 20 train cars, with security, making it ideal for railroad yard storage.

For example, a taxpayer creating 50 jobs in a tier 1 county offering a $4,000 credit receives $1 million in tax credits over five years to reduce or eliminate Georgia income tax. That number doubles with 100 jobs. Other tax exemptions such as sales and use are also available. Additional state incentives are available on a case-by-case basis. Freeport is the general term used for the exemption of ad valorem tax on inventories as defined by Georgia law. The law offers manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and warehouse operations an attractive inventory tax exemption on three classes of property. Sylvania and Screven County exempt 100 percent on all classes of certain business inventory from property taxation.
