New West Alabama Site Features Rail, Interstate and Waterway Access

Crossroads of America
Greene County, Alabama

A fantastic, new industrial park is now being marketed in West Alabama. Located in Boligee, Ala., the Crossroads of America industrial park features 1,750 acres that are rail-served by Burlington-Northern-Sante Fe Railroad and by inland waterway by the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. In addition, Interstate 20/59 runs right through the eastern sector of the property. How many 1,750 acres are there in the South that feature water, rail and interstate? Not many.

Crossroads is an excellent location for an automotive supplier or any large user that needs to send product quickly to a Southeastern U.S. location. The Crossroads site is almost equidistant between Atlanta and New Orleans, two of the South's largest markets. This new site is at the heart of the I-20/59 Automotive Corridor. It is approximately 145 miles from Canton, Miss., home of the newly announced $900 million Nissan plant. Crossroads is also 60 miles from the Mercedes-Benz facility in Vance, Ala.; 150 miles from the Honda facility in Lincoln, Ala.; and approximately 175 miles from the newly announced Toyota engine plant in Huntsville.

The Crossroads site has been studied and no historical significance has been found. An environmental report is available and there are no endangered or threatened species on the site. Geotechnical data is available and there are no non-attainment areas in Greene County. All utilties are either on site or in the process of being provided.

It should be noted that Greene County is part of the federal rural enterprise community program and that the site is located only minutes away from both the University of Alabama and the University of West Alabama.

Florida Super Sites

St. Marks Powder Site
St. Marks, Florida

Here is certainly one of the more interesting Southern super sites we've discovered. St. Marks Powder, a General Dynamics Company, located in St. Marks, Fla., is actively seeking an additional business to co-locate within a 2,000-acre site which includes available infrastructure and resources for an industrial facility. But, what's so interesting about this site is that St. Marks Powder is looking to acquire or partner with a manufacturer that is willing to locate on the site. St. Marks is looking for an existing company with 100 employees or more that has annual revenue beginning at or above the $15 to $20 million range.

Partnership notwithstanding, the breadth of opportunity at St. Marks is extraordinary. The site is centrally located to major metros and is served by multiple freight lines. Incentive potential is excellent and the aspect of St. Marks Powder partnering with a locating industry on the site is quite unique.

Acres: 2,000 (up to 200 for a single user)

An Excellent Supersite in the Tallahassee Area

Southwood
Tallahassee, Florida

If your search includes finding a campus-style site in a market that boasts a sizable technical labor pool, look no further than Tallahassee, Fla. Tallahassee is a market with a wealth of potential, albeit one that is just now being discovered by the corporate world. The Tallahassee MSA has recently received some positive press. People magazine ranked it in the Top 3 in its Most Livable City promotion and Forbes magazine cited Florida's Capital City as the 37th Best Place to do Business out of 200 metro areas. And with St. Joe Co.'s plans to develop more real estate product in this market, look for Tallahassee to be on many more site search short lists in the near future.

In this market, you have an excellent super site to choose from. Southwood, is located in Tallahassee along Capital Circle, south of U.S. 27 and 10 miles south of Interstate 10 in Leon County. The location is 4.5 miles from the State Capitol. The Tallahassee Regional Airport, with air service provided by Delta, Northwest and USAir, is six miles to the southwest.

Situated among the stately oaks of Tallahassee, Southwood is a 3,200-acre, all-inclusive, master-planned community with residential, commercial, retail and light industrial tracts. The largest tract for commercial or light industrial projects is 250 acres. All utilities are either on-site or contiguous to the site and can be configured to match user demand. The City of Tallahassee provides water, sewer and electric service. Gas service is provided by Florida Gas and fiber is available from a variety of providers. By the way, on-site video conferencing services will be made available to all Southwood tenants. Another amenity worth mentioning is a Fred Couples designed 18-hole Championship Golf Course, which will be completed in 2002.

Southwood is well positioned to tap into the sizable Tallahassee labor pool, which offers thousands of programmers and technically trained workers. The campuses of both Florida State University and Florida A&M University offer the opportunity to recruit thousands of graduates annually in key fields.

Kay Stephenson, co-founder and president of Datamaxx Applied Technologies, Inc. a software company that provides 24/7 mission-critical data to law enforcement agencies from around the country, will be Southwood's first tenant. She is currently building a 33,000-square-foot facility at the site. Ms. Stephenson views her decision to locate in Southwood as an investment, because she points out "beauty creates value." She also stresses the uniqueness of the Southwood environment and adds "many of my employees are excited about the opportunity to live, work, shop and play all in one place."

While virtually any large user would find Southwood desirable, given the site's proximity to the airport, downtown, abundant new housing and unique community features, this site lends itself to large campus-style users, particularly companies requiring a large number of young, technically trained employees.

For more information on Southwood, circle No. 326 on the Reader Service Card or call Nathan Sparks at 850-914-6161.

New Tech Park Near Nashville To Be World-Class

Williamson County Technology & Research Park
Williamson County, Tennessee

The Nashville area has been one of the hottest markets in the South over the last five years. And Williamson County, located about 30 minutes south of downtown, is Nashville's brightest star. The new tech park is just now getting off the ground. But as hot of a location as Williamson County is, it would be prudent to check this site out now or expect to wait in line.

Backing up Williamson County's attraction to growing businesses are these items: Williamson County is Nashville's largest office and retail market at more than 5 million square feet each; No. 1 in per capita income in Tennessee and 9th in the nation; a 1998 study ranked Williamson County 3rd in the nation for future economic growth; a 1994 Wall Street Journal survey ranked the county 10th on a list of the 20 fastest growing, most educated and wealthy counties in the nation. So what does such a successful and progressive county do to further development? It champions a world-class technology and research park.

When completed, the Williamson County Technology & Research Park will have about 4 million square feet of institutional, private research and development space, with up to 60 campus-style buildings. The master plan indicates that 38 percent of the land in the park will be used by university research and R&D office and lab space. Retail, commercial, hotels, conference center, high school and a commuter rail station are all planned users of the park. As mentioned, this park was just recently announced. Much of the infrastructure serving the park is in the planning stages. However, all utilities, including a 12-conduit fiber bundle, are adjacent to the property.

The location of the park is exceptional. The proposed interstate-quality SR840 is on the south side of the property; CSX Railroad is on the west; SR31 to the east; Interstate 65 is only three miles west and the site is directly adjacent to the SR840/SR31 interchange.

Major Tract Available in Longview, Texas

Smith Property
Longview, Texas

Longview, Tex., has an excellent super site that's already been looked at by two major paper companies. Up to 800 acres of prime land adjacent to Interstate 20 makes this super site worth considering. "We see this mega-site as a major opportunity for a company needing a large site with excellent access and as a major opportunity for our community to support that effort," said John Stroud, executive director of the Longview Economic Development Corporation. "Introducing companies to this significant tract of land has allowed the City of Longview to plan for expansion of its water and sewer operations and to extend service to the site when the right company chooses this location."

Longview has entered into contracts providing water to the city for the next 100 years, according to Ricky Childers, city manager. "We not only have the desire but the ability to meet the long-term needs of a company that might want to locate at this site."

As a result of GM's $750 million expansion of its Shreveport, La., plant, automotive suppliers have been busy discovering what Longview has to offer. Longview's super site is within a one-hour drive on Interstate 20 from the GM plant. "We're seeing a lot more activity in this area because of our proximity to the GM plant," Stroud said. "These suppliers are finding our labor quality and availability to be more than sufficient. They are also discovering that Longview has long maintained a pro-business climate, one with the ability to work with companies on the fast track."

As mentioned, the 800-acre site, which is known as the "Smith Property," is located adjacent to I-20. Access for truck traffic is excellent with this location. While rail is not at the site, a major rail line is adjacent to the property. The installation of a spur is possible.
