诺克斯县 L和 Bank Partners with NAI Ohio股票 to Help Bring Manufacturing 和 Jobs Back to Heart土地 Commerce Park

A nearly 200-year-old 制造业 campus in 诺克斯县 is once again coming to life five years after the announcement that one of the area’s largest employers, 西门子能源, 会停止在那里的运作.

The 47-acre property which includes 12 buildings totaling 670,000 square feet was acquired by the 诺克斯县 L和 Reutilization Corporation, 也被称为诺克斯县土地银行, in 2020 after Siemens decided it no longer wanted to retain the property following the closure.

The property has housed power generation systems manufacturers, 从蒸汽机到喷气发动机再到发电机, 自1833年以来. The majority of that time, by the successors of the original occupant, the CE Cooper Co.

校园, 现在被命名为哈特兰商业园, represents the largest collection of available 工业 space within the city, 杰夫·戈特克解释道, president of the 诺克斯县 Area Development Foundation 和 the 诺克斯县 L和 Bank.

“It’s a homegrown property that the community feels a lot of connection to. Thous和s of current 诺克斯县 residents have worked on that property or know someone who did,他说.

“Manufacturing is our largest sector by employment, so it’s a nice fit that we have a skilled workforce 和 available 制造业 space,他接着说.

Gottke is optimistic about the future of the park 和 says the 土地 bank is looking to diversify its 制造业 和 has established a soft goal to create 500 jobs at the park over the next three to five years. 

“诺克斯县 has always been a community that makes things. Twenty-three percent of 诺克斯县’s population is employed in the 制造业 sector. This represents the highest employment sector by type in the county. As the Columbus Region continues its rapid growth outward, many companies are looking toward the outer ring cities, 像芒特弗农. What they discover is that 诺克斯县 has the skills, sites 和 quality of life that will allow their business to thrive,戈特克说.

To help achieve that goal, the 土地 bank has partnered with NAI Ohio股票’ Doug Shull乔门宁格 管理物业的官方直营bbin. Shull 和 Menninger both say the property has had a lot of activity.

他说:“很多本地企业都对我们感兴趣, 国家, 和 even inter国家 firms thanks to the special facility features 和 economic incentives offered,”她说。.

“You rarely come across an 工业 park that offers the same capability as the Heart土地 Commerce Park which will soon offer 12,000伏专用电源, along with more than 100 cranes that can support up to 50 tons, 净高50英尺,他接着说.

“One Columbus 和 JobsOhio’s 经济发展 professionals have done a great job making Ohio a very competitive place for 制造业, 和 that has also attracted a wide variety of buyers 和 tenants to the park,Menninger补充道.

到目前为止, 包括13号楼在内的三栋楼已被出售,408平方英尺的控制大楼, a 17,260平方英尺的三湾测试设施, 然后是32,400平方英尺的四湾测试设施. Four more buildings are anticipated to close in 2024 including Plant 4 which is a 101,236平方英尺的仓库, 1号电站是117,000平方英尺的工业设施, Plant 2 which includes three buildings totaling 106,5455 square feet 和 the adjacent 26-acre 工业 site, 57分,000- square-foot Shipping 和 Receiving building.

31日,130平方英尺的工程中心和97,000-square-foot Plant 5 buildings are both still available.

The 土地 bank has also made infrastructure improvements that will support new manufacturers to the park, 包括把电, 水, 和 gas utilities for each building on individual meters.

今年,它还将盈利3美元.5 million 投资 into parking lot improvements 和 creating an employee plaza on part of the vacant outdoor space which will include outdoor workstations, 露天会议的圆形剧场, 和 an outdoor walking path 和 historical markers that will pay tribute to the usage of the property throughout its history.

Gottke says the revitalization of the park will impact the quality of life for residents both directly 和 indirectly.

He explained that if the average wage for those 500 jobs were at the rate of $22 per hour, the campus could generate as much as $23 million in annual payroll equating to more than $450,为这个城市增加了1万美元的所得税收入, 除了其他一般的经济活动.

“It’s exciting to be able to bring vibrancy, jobs 和 投资 back to the area,戈特克说.

“诺克斯县 is a scenic community with a low cost of living 和 a high quality of life. We welcome new businesses 和 residents who want to be a part of it,” he added.
