According to the release, the Iowa Certified Site Program was created in 2012 to help economic development organizations throughout the state prepare land for industrial development. It works with South Carolina-based consulting firm Quest Site Solutions to help sites meet standards such as proper transportation and utility infrastructure.
Some developers have already settled in the Southbridge Business Park, such as Sabre Industries and Cold-Link Logistics.
