Airport
Business Parks:
The City of Des Moines has three privately-developed business
parks near the Des Moines International Airport-Airport Commerce
Park South, Airport Business Park and Airport Commerce Park
West. The City, through the use of Tax Increment Financing,
has supported the development of these high-quality business
parks.
Quality
Park Environment:
- Planned
Business Park Zoning: Allowed uses include office, commercial,
warehouse and light manufacturing.
- Open
Space: All development must include minimum amount of open
space and screening.
- Design
guidelines: All three parks have established minimum development
requirements. High quality development protects future values.
Strategic
Location:
- Close
proximity to the Des Moines International Airport, a hub
for UPS Air Freight.
- All
three parks are less than 10 miles from Interstate 35/80
offering easy access to Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis
and Omaha.
- Only
minutes from Downtown Des Moines.
Investment
Value:
- Businesses
who locate in any one of the three parks will qualify for
a full 3-year tax abatement program.
- Recent
freeway construction and airport expansion has increased
land values and the trend is expected to continue.
