Industrial Parks

  The communities of St. Francois County have made a commitment to assist businesses and manufacturers in locating and expanding in the County by providing well-equipped industrial parks.  There are four developed industrial parks in St. Francois County–the Bonne Terre Industrial Park, Farmington East Industrial Park, Farmington West Industrial Park and the Park Hills Industrial Park. 

       Significant from a distribution standpoint, all four industrial parks offer immediate access to U. S. Highway 67, which intersects Interstate 55 in Jefferson County, approximately 27 miles north of the central County area.  U. S. Highway 67 is a limited-access, four-lane divided highway from I-55 south to the City of Fredericktown.

       The Bonne Terre Industrial Park is located on the north side of the City of Bonne Terre and has water, sewer and electric on site. There are 105.7 acres available for development.  Current tenants include GWS Contractor, Waterworks Specialties and Eagle Waterjet/Plattin Tool and Die.  The park is located in a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District.

       The City of Farmington offers two fully developed industrial parks.  The Farmington West Industrial Park is located west of U. S. highway 67 and south of State Highway W.  There are currently 41.2 acres available for development in the park.  Among the tenants located in the Farmington West Industrial Park are the Rubbermaid Corporation, Centene Corporation, SR Products, MOCAP/PACOM, and Smith Motor Freight.  Water, sewer, electric and natural gas are available on site.

       The Farmington East Industrial Park is located just east of U. S. Highway 67 and adjacent to the Farmington Regional Airport which offers a 4,222' lighted concrete runway.  There is a total of 111.4 acres available for development in the park.  Current tenants include Bennee’s Toys and Eric Scott Leathers.  Water, sewer, electric and natural gas are available on site.

       The Park Hills Industrial Park is located in one of 33 state-approved Enterprise Zones.  Enterprise Zones offer businesses significant tax incentives for new jobs, investment and training, as well as local property tax relief for 10 to 20 years.  Water, sewer, electric and natural gas are available on site. An active spur of the Union Pacific Railroad serves the park.  Current tenants include Flat River Glass Company, PACOM and Ozark Steel Fabricators.
