The Emporia region features a total of 300-acres of shovel-ready industrial sites available in Park III, South Park III, and Industrial Park IV. Our industrial parks are within 1 1/2 miles from I-35, exit 133 and one mile from the U.S. Highway 50 and Kansas Highway 99. The RDA regularly works to develop sites, ensuring that businesses of all sizes have the space they need to grow and expand here. What makes Emporia unique is the large number of acres that are shovel-ready, all utilities are in place, permits can be issued in under 60 days, financial incentives are available and we are located at the midway point between Wichita, Kansas City, and Topeka.
We also move fast on putting incentive packages together. The RDA has a history of bringing partners together quickly so businesses can make a quick, educated decision on where to locate. Over $1 billion in capital has been invested in Emporia since the RDA’s founding and 2022 was our best year yet. Our adult workforce, university, and technical college has supported this growth.
