Shovel-Ready with Room to Grow

Businesses ready to expand and build should consider the expanding industrial park in Willmar, Minnesota. It is certified shovel-ready by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), which means planning, zoning, surveys, title work, environmental studies, soils analysis and infrastructure engineering are complete to start construction.

The park is just two miles from the Willmar Airport, which has available hangar space and a modern terminal building. It is also a transportation hub with north/south connections via U.S. Highway 71 and MN Highway 23 and east/west connections via U.S. Highway 12. The Willmar Industrial Park also includes a Willmar Rail Park consisting of 145 acres and an 8,000-foot rail loop coming from the Willmar Wye railroad bypass. The site is close to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe switching yard connecting Chicago to the Pacific coastal states. Over 30 companies already call Willmar Industrial Park home, including Jennie-O Turkey Store, Willmar Poultry Company, Mills Parts Center, Willmar Electric Service, RELCO, Magnum Trucking, Dooley’s Petroleum and Chappell Central.
