Texas — The construction of the Foundation Business Park in Denison is underway, promising to boost local employment with over 100 new jobs as its development progresses. This new business hub is set to enhance the economic landscape of the area, reflecting significant growth and investment in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
Denison Development Alliance has reported that every lot within the park has been sold within the past two years, indicating strong demand for commercial space in the area. The business park will host multiple facilities, including two substantial warehouses, each spanning 80,000 square feet, primarily focused on furniture and glass products.
Already completed within the park is a 12,000 square foot distribution center for Frito-Lay, which marks a crucial step in the development of the business park. Looking ahead, J&L Wire is on track to open a 60,000 square foot manufacturing building by early September 2025, with plans to employ approximately 40 individuals once the facility becomes fully operational.
Features of the Business Park
The Foundation Business Park is designed to cater to the needs of new businesses through the inclusion of four shell buildings. These structures, varying in size from 30,000 to 90,000 square feet, will provide essential space for businesses seeking to establish themselves in Denison. The availability of these shell buildings is a significant advantage, as it can reduce the time necessary for businesses to become operational—from over two years to around one year.
Economic Impact
The anticipated construction and subsequent operations at the Foundation Business Park are expected to generate a total investment of $30 million in the local area over the next couple of years. This economic stimulation is expected to result in job creation and contribute to the overall vitality of the community.
Timeline and Construction Details
Each building in the business park takes between two to three years from the site assessment stage to construction completion. This timeline can significantly impact how quickly businesses can establish themselves and start contributing to the local economy.
Conclusion
Overall, the Foundation Business Park not only represents a key investment in Denison’s future but also highlights the area’s potential for growth and prosperity. With a burgeoning job market and swift development timelines, local leaders are optimistic that the region will continue to attract more businesses and opportunities in years to come.
