Aerospace and Defense Industrial Park Kansas

Great Plains Industrial Park offers over 6,800 acres of prime land ready for redevelopment to support defense contractors and aviation pioneers. Located on the historic footprint of the former Kansas Army Ammunition Plant, our site provides the extreme physical security and specialized infrastructure required for complex operations.

We know that finding a location that balances strict privacy with high-level logistics access is difficult. As a dedicated aerospace and defense industrial park, we provide organizations with customized plots for advanced manufacturing or highly secure storage. Our team works directly with you to construct the exact footprint needed to scale your operations efficiently.

A Secure Aerospace Industrial Park Engineered for Mission-Critical Requirements

When evaluating an aerospace industrial park, physical security and specialized utilities are top priorities. Because our site originally served as a United States Army facility, it was designed from the ground up to support highly sensitive defense and aviation operations. We offer unique infrastructure features that are difficult to find at traditional commercial sites.

ATF-Certifiable Concrete Storage Magazines

Our park features 95 reinforced concrete magazines originally built for the military in 1941. These structures include a two-foot earth cover to ensure a highly secure environment. The earth berming provides natural insulation to maintain a constant temperature and reduce energy costs. We offer two sizes spanning over 1,220 square feet and 1,813 square feet, all securely fenced within our perimeter.

Strategic Aerospace and Defense Industry Partnerships

We actively collaborate with sector leaders to support our tenants. Supply Energetics supports operations requiring munitions and explosives supply chain expertise. Located within the park, Vets To Drones creates a direct pipeline of highly trained military veterans ready for careers in unmanned aerial systems and aviation technology.

Onsite Industrial Defense Infrastructure

Your operations are supported by heavy-duty utilities and transportation networks. The park includes 30 miles of internal track with a direct connection to the Union Pacific Railroad. Tenants benefit from an onsite water treatment facility and high-speed fiber optic broadband. We currently offer access to over 863,000 square feet of existing warehouse space to accommodate rapid expansion.

The Premier Industrial Park for Aerospace Manufacturers and Defense Operations

We help organizations significantly reduce running costs associated with energy consumption and daily facility management. By leveraging our strategic agreements with regional utility providers, your company gains access to highly competitive energy rates required for heavy industrial processes.

Our site also houses the Kansas Proving Grounds. This expansive footprint allows companies to conduct intensive research and development or defense-related testing in a strictly controlled environment. Furthermore, we offer a designated Foreign Trade Zone to provide valuable economic incentives. Companies can import materials and manufacture finished components while minimizing customs duties, adding direct financial benefits to your bottom line.

Regional Connectivity and Supply Chain Advantages

Moving heavy materials and finished components requires reliable transportation networks. Our location in southeast Kansas places your organization in the center of the country, providing efficient routes to both domestic and global markets. We are situated a short distance from the intermodal facility at Kansas City Logistics Park and the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, giving you multiple options for large-scale freight. With immediate access to major highway networks like U.S. 400, your supply chain avoids unnecessary delays to meet demanding defense production schedules.
