The portion of the inland port that falls within Rosser has access to a Special Planning Area to streamline the land development approval process.

Located near the geographic centre of North America, it serves as a hub for national and international trading corridors, as well as attracting new transportation logistics development to the city area.

[1] CentrePort is now one among a growing number of inland terminals in North America and faces competition from other prairie centres, such as Port Alberta in Metro Edmonton and the Global Transportation Hub in Regina, Saskatchewan.

[11] Located near the geographic centre of North America, Winnipeg—therefore CentrePort—serves as a hub for national and international trading corridors, as well as attracting new transportation logistics development to the city area.

[19] CentrePort Canada Way is a four-lane, 10 km (6.2 mi) expressway that links Winnipeg's Inkster Boulevard to the Perimeter Highway, and allows for 5 minutes to 90 km/h (56 mph).

As Winnipeg is located near the geographic centre of North America, it serves as a hub for national and international trading corridors, as well as attracting new transportation logistics development to the city area.

[5] Plans to build CentrePort Canada Way was announced on 14 April 2009, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper with Manitoba Premier Gary Doer declared at James Richardson Airport that both the federal and provincial governments would contribute CA$212.5 million towards a divided four-lane expressway.

[20] In March 2014, the province of Manitoba announced that it would double CentrePort Canada Way to bypass the Rural Municipality of Headingley and connect directly into the TransCanada Highway (PTH 1).
