Webster City Gateway Industrial Park offers a large-scale, development-ready industrial opportunity in Webster City, Iowa, with immediate access to U.S. Highway 20 and Iowa Highway 17. The park includes approximately 478 total acres, with roughly 443 developable acres split between the west and east sides of the highway corridor, creating flexibility for a range of industrial users and phased development needs. Documented due diligence is immediately available for the identified properties, providing reduced development risk and a faster path from site selection to project execution.

The park is well-positioned for manufacturing, logistics and other industrial investment, with most of the property already zoned M-1 Light Industrial, strong highway visibility and access, and a rail mainline immediately adjacent to the park that can be extended to serve end users. Key utilities are available or can be extended within defined timeframes, including water, wastewater, natural gas, electric and fiber service. The site is supported by a regional labor shed of nearly 149,000 workers within 60 minutes, including more than 17,000 manufacturing employees, and is backed by the city of Webster City, the Hamilton County Growth Partnership and the Ames Regional Economic Alliance as local partners prepared to support business attraction and project delivery.
