Tradepoint Atlantic to add 165-acre container terminal to support Port of Baltimore

Tradepoint Atlantic is getting a massive container terminal that will stretch 165 acres at the former Sparrows Point steel mill site in order to support growth at the Port of Baltimore. The terminal is expected to bring 1,000 new jobs to Tradepoint, officials said Tuesday, which eight years ago welcomed its first tenant, FedEx Ground and today has leased warehouse space to 19 other large, national corporations like Amazon, Home Depot, McCormick & Co. Inc. and Under Armour Inc. It will also serve to help the Port of Baltimore expand by supporting the volume of containers delivered to the port and at Tradepoint in the coming decades, said William P. Doyle, executive director of the port.
