The Great Plains Industrial Park (GPIP) covers 13,727 acres and offers:

  • Large single-owner tracts – you name the size!
  • 33 miles of rail connected to the Union Pacific
  • Water and waste water plants already in operation
  • Kansas’ lowest electric rates through Westar Energy
  • Just 90 miles north of the Port of Catoosa, by rail
  • Nearby fiber optics
 
GPIP is a property that was made available by the United States Army, due to the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC). The initial transfer of property occurred in February 2010, and included 600 environmentally-clean (never contaminated) acres at the development’s primary intersection.
                                                                                                                 
A second parcel of 6,100 acres will be cleaned to industrial/brownfield standards. Of the industrial park’s total acreage, less than 12 percent was determined contaminated by a joint concurrence of the EPA, Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and the US Army. The large uncontaminated acreage is due to the fact that extremely large buffer zones were created around all production and storage areas.
 
BEST YET, unlike other brownfield sites, the Great Plains Industrial Park comes with a FOREVER-AFTER warranty from the United States government in the form of a deed covenant. Under CERCLA 120(h) there is a provision that the United States will return to perform any additional response action that may be required in the future.
