The Norfolk Southern Corporation announced it will pay for $25 million in upgrades to a local park in East Palestine, Ohio, complete with a pool house, pickleball courts, and an amphitheater, at no cost to the town’s taxpayers.
“Through multiple visits, I have seen firsthand the love and pride the community has for the park and we are honored to support meaningful improvements,” said Norfolk Southern’s CEO Alan Shaw in a press release. The donation is the latest in a $62 million surge of spending in East Palestine from Norfolk Southern, which runs freight trains throughout the east coast.
