This project consisted of a feasibility study and development plan for an 1800-acre heavy industry park. It began with a site search to determine the optimal site for the new industrial park, based on ownership patterns, rail and highway access, infrastructure, and environmental considerations.

A market analysis identified potential target industries and determined their need for services, then established a phased infrastructure development plan to ensure adequate capacity while moderating up-front costs. More than three miles of track are planned to access two competing railroads.

A development concept laid out street improvements and platting to accommodate users needing 20 acres or more, with access to rail. More than seven miles of new or reconstructed roads will serve over 11,000 daily trips and provide site access. This will create the opportunity to develop commercial uses on a future US Highway 20 interchange.

Our team estimated development costs of $45 million, resulting in 3,460 jobs and $450 million in assessed value, with nearly $1 billion in total investment. These development costs will be shared by the public and private sector. To mitigate impacts, we provided specific recommendations related to land use and hazard mitigation, and prepared a zoning district for the project area.

The plan included a detailed implementation matrix, establishing teams for property acquisition and management, finance, transportation, and marketing, managed by the Development Corporation.
