Pallet racking in Harrisburg, PA.

Harrisburg is Pennsylvania's capital and the hinge of one of the busiest inland freight markets in the country. Three interstates and the Pennsylvania Turnpike converge within twenty miles of the city, and the Norfolk Southern intermodal terminal moves containers that never touch a coastal port. The industrial base reflects that: rail-served warehouses along the Cameron Street corridor, state-government and institutional supply operations, food and beverage distribution, and the tall-clear spec buildings filling in along Grayson Road and Paxton Street. Building stock splits sharply — brick industrials from the rail era at 20-to-28-foot clear, and modern distribution product at 28-to-36-foot on post-tension slabs. The City of Harrisburg Bureau of Codes Administration reviews rack permits inside city limits, with plan review typically running three to five weeks.

From the Norfolk Southern intermodal terminal and Cameron Street rail corridor to the I-81/I-83 distribution belt, permits route through the City of Harrisburg Bureau of Codes Administration with plan reviews typically running three to five weeks. Rail-served buildings along the Norfolk Southern corridor often need rack laid out around existing dock and track geometry rather than a clean rectangle.
