“This agreement demonstrates that it won't be long before we are ready to provide a range of supply chain management services in the Northern Plains,” says Cathy Spencer, NPCC general manager for Mallory Alexander International Logistics .

The golden spike ceremony marked completion of the Phase I roads, water and sewer, as well as construction of the mainline rail and spur line to the Bobcat Manufacturing Support Center.
