Strategically located, the terminal connects to Union Pacific and BNSF railroads, offering nationwide market access. Savage Vice President Phillip Hoskins highlighted the completion of permits and design, marking progress in regional energy infrastructure.

As part of the Savage Transload Network, the terminal aligns with the Utah Inland Port Authority’s Castle Country Project Area objectives. These include sustainable development and enhanced energy access in Carbon and Emery Counties.

Ben Hart, executive director of the Utah Inland Port Authority, praised the project: “This terminal fosters rural economic growth while advancing Utah’s logistics capabilities.”

Rikki Hrenko-Browning of the Utah Petroleum Association described the terminal as key to unlocking the Uinta Basin’s export market potential. “This project paves the way for further investments in energy infrastructure,” she stated.

Savage’s purchase of 277 acres for industrial use reflects a long-term commitment to Utah’s energy sector. This terminal ensures producers can meet growing demand efficiently, fostering regional and national energy expansion.
