Site Information
With 143 acres north of Interstate 80, the Stuart Rail Park is on the outskirts of Stuart, Iowa — an industrious community of 1,800 residents on the western side of Greater Des Moines (DSM). The land is zoned for light industrial use, pairing well with the property’s direct rail access serviced by Iowa Interstate Railroad, a Class II railroad. Stuart Rail Park is within two miles of I-80 interstate access. The nearest major air service is the Des Moines International Airport, which is about 45 miles from the site. Electricity, natural gas and potable water are all available within 600 feet of the property.
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) may be available, with additional property tax relief and other stimulus options for application, based on the project.
