Cold Chain Logistics & Temperature-Controlled Storage

A planned cold-chain node serving western producers, food manufacturers, distributors, and markets along Interstate 40.

GGEDC is recruiting cold and frozen storage as shared industrial infrastructure, not simply as a stand-alone warehouse use. A temperature-controlled facility within the Gallup-McKinley TradePort could support food processors, produce consolidators, frozen-food distributors, institutional suppliers, and manufacturers requiring refrigerated ingredients or finished-goods storage.

Why Gallup-McKinley?

Gallup's position on Interstate 40 and BNSF's Southern Transcon creates a logical transfer point between western production regions and consumer markets across the Southwest and central United States. U.S. Highway 491 adds access toward the Four Corners. Depending on transportation mode and utility needs, companies can evaluate rail-capable opportunities at GELP or highway-oriented sites near Carbon Coal Road and Gallup.

• Multi-temperature refrigerated and frozen warehousing
• Refrigerated cross-dock, consolidation, and regional distribution
• Blast freezing, tempering, ripening, packaging, and labeling
• Cold storage integrated with food manufacturing or agricultural processing
• Shared transportation, refrigeration, packaging, and energy solutions

Part of a Larger Food-Industry Cluster

Cold-chain development can help anchor a cluster in which processors, packaging suppliers, logistics providers, and agricultural shippers share facilities and services. Project teams may also evaluate resilient power, renewable-energy supply, microgrids, or recoverable process heat where technically and commercially feasible.

Explore the Fit

Provide your temperature zones, pallet capacity, refrigeration load, throughput, truck and rail mix, water needs, food-safety requirements, and expansion plan. GGEDC will help compare sites and coordinate the utility, infrastructure, workforce, and development partners required by the project.
