Light rail projects are frequent in the Industrial Manufacturing Industry, and the Mid-Atlantic region is no different, with one planned to kick off in Maryland near Washington, D.C. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Washington, D.C.) will construct 3.1 miles of track and one station between the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport station and the Braddock Road station along the existing Yellow and Blue lines to increase commuter transportation access. Construction is expected to take about three years. Potomac Yard Constructors (Nanuet, New York) is performing design-build services. The project has an estimated TIV of $320 million.

A couple of automobile component manufacturing projects also make their way into the mix.

A 72,000-square-foot building will be constructed along with a new hybrid transaxle production line to double production capacity to 240,000 units a year. The project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

Several warehouse and distribution center projects are also in the works. Among these is Trammel Crow Company's (Washington, D.C.) planned speculative distribution center in Hagerstown, Maryland.
