April 20, 2021 By Frank McCormack Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, Port NOLA President and CEO Brandy Christian, and Greg Lehmkuhl, president and CEO of Lineage Logistics, gathered at the New Orleans Cold Storage (NOCS) facility on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in New Orleans East April 6 to break ground on a $42 million expansion project. Lineage Logistics, which globally operates more than 340 refrigerated facilities that account for more than 2.1 billion cubic feet of cold storage capacity, acquired New Orleans Cold Storage, which also operates a facility at the port’s Henry Clay Avenue Wharf, in 2020 as part of its acquisition of Emergent Cold. With roots going back to the 1880s, New Orleans Cold Storage is the oldest refrigerated cargo storage facility in the United States.
