Kern County has approved the establishment of California's first inland port in the middle of the Mojave Desert, a 410-acre container hub that will receive cargo by rail from congested ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Houston-based Pioneer Partners will develop the Mojave Inland Port on a tract at the southeast corner of Highways 14 and 58, a few miles north of the Mojave Air and Space Port and the desert town of Mojave, according to a report in the Antelope Valley Press.
