In Porter County, Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor has broken ground on a new warehouse, the first to be built at the Lake Michigan port in 25 years. Ports of Indiana officials held a ceremony Wednesday May 21, 2025, to kick off the project. Ports of Indiana CEO Jody Peacock says the Berth 2 Warehouse will provide customers with greater supply chain flexibility and new export opportunities. The facility is scheduled to open in early 2026, supplementing the port’s 640,000 square feet of warehouse space spread over five buildings. The port is also developing an international container terminal that will introduce a new type of cargo shipment to the 55-year-old facility in 2026, a news release said.
