I'll chime but I don't have complete insight.  The inland port is designed to be a huge import/export center utilizing the expanded port of Oswego.  Exporters, such as the Cayuga milk cooperative will be able to export dried powdered milk direct to China (huge demand) at an estimated 70-80% savings in shipping costs (huge dollars) making CNY exports like this highly competitive worldwide.  The port of Oswego expansion will be able to dock the largest supertankers coming through the expanded Panama Canal.  The Oswego port will also serve as an extension of the NY/NJ & Boston ports as those ports are both expensive and already at capacity.  Long term expectations is to attract and retain major export import based companies here in CNY - export our natural resources and expand import based companies worldwide that should translate into jobs.  Certainly both rail and trucking are important pieces of the puzzle.

Finally, the placement of the inland port near the South side would provide great job opportunities for our underserved areas in Syracuse.  I agree with KellyS because the minority would block the greater good of helping the economically depressed areas of the South side.
