The Dan Evans Industrial Park in Southern Ohio is an under-construction 50,000-square-foot industrial facility that offers a strategic opportunity for manufacturers, distributors, and logistics users seeking long-term scalability in one of the region’s fastest-growing industrial corridors. Located just 1 mile north of the US Highway 35/State Route 850 interchange, the site provides immediate access to a four-lane highway network connecting businesses to major markets throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The property sits near Nucor’s $4 billion steel mill and is surrounded by about $62 billion+ in announced industrial investments, creating a powerful ecosystem of manufacturing, automotive, food production, and emerging energy users.
Designed with operational flexibility in mind, the new-construction facility will feature clear-span construction, eliminating interior columns and maximizing usable floor area. The building will have 28- to 32-foot clear heights, up to eight dock doors, two drive-in doors, and a 6-inch floor slab capable of supporting specialized isolated foundations for heavier industrial applications. Users may be able to incorporate build-to-suit elements during construction, and the building can expand beyond its initial 50,000-square-foot footprint to accommodate future growth. Additional dock positions can be added as the facility expands, allowing it to evolve alongside changing operational requirements.
Beyond its physical advantages, the property delivers a compelling financial and workforce environment. Tenants can benefit from a 100% property tax abatement during the first five years of operations, followed by significant phased reductions for the next 10 years. The 10-acre Opportunity Zone site also offers access to a rare combination of federal incentive programs, including New Markets Tax Credits, Justice40, and Energy Community benefits. Supported by a steady pipeline of skilled labor from nearby educational institutions and situated in a region poised to create nearly 5,000 new jobs, this development presents an exceptional opportunity for industrial users seeking efficiency, expansion potential, and a competitive operating environment.
