Business Park

Already a site of expanding companies, the 85-acre Tipton Business Park is now the first property in the state of Iowa to receive “Shovel Ready Iowa Certification,” and that designation was recognized by Governor Terry Branstad, Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds and Congressman Dave Loebsack during an April 18, 2011 ceremony in the heart of Tipton.

A shot in the arm for regional economic development, Shovel Ready Iowa Certification is an independent, third-party certification program designed to reduce risk for local communities and property owners as well as companies researching the seven county Corridor Alliance region for business location or expansion.

Sites that receive this certification must meet or exceed multiple criteria and standards regarding the development potential for commercial or industrial facilities. As a certified Shovel-Ready Iowa site in the Rural Industrial category, the Tipton Business Park has proven to Austin Consulting that it can accommodate an expanding industrial operation on a tight timeline.  Such a designation is possible because the Tipton Economic Development Corporation (TEDCO) and the City of Tipton have been investing in the infrastructure of the City and the Business Park for many years 

TEDCO is looking for high-quality industrial and manufacturing companies to locate here, and is ready and willing to work with prospects for optimal location, access, size, and price. The park is becoming populated and there has been an impressive level of interest regionally and nationally.
