NORFOLK, Va., Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) today announced it has terminated plans to build a rail transfer facility on the site of the former Chattahoochee Brick Company in Atlanta. We accepted from the beginning that we had a special responsibility to develop this site in a socially and environmentally responsible way, given the atrocities that once took place there, said James A. Squires, chairman, president and CEO. We believe our project presented an opportunity to create a long-overdue memorial to the painful legacy of the site, and at the same time reshape its future by building new river trails and putting the long-abandoned land back into productive use in a way that benefits the regional economy.
