Cardinal, a division of GO Riteway Transportation Group, is building a new transportation terminal, located in Zeeland, Mich., with intentions to service the entire Western Michigan market.

The four-acre property will be built during 2022, with an expected completion date in late fall. With over 40 years of experience in the Greater Grand Rapids area, this is a wonderful opportunity to expand services into the growing market, one of which is consistently ranked as fastest growing in the U.S., according to the company.
