McInnis Cement sites first U.S. terminal at Port of Providence

The terminal encompasses an existing ProvPort warehouse, which McInnis Cement aims to transform into a world-class receiving and storing facility. The company will also build a modern rail and truck station to load up to 100 tankers and 10 railcars daily.
