Industrial Development
Due to its traditional retail prominence, Trotwood only recently began expanding its century old industrial base. Based on the success of small shop manufactures located along the Wolf Creek Pike corridor and its proximity to the S.R. 49/U.S. 35 ‘Trotwood Connector’ just 1/2 mile away, the City recently developed its first industrial park, Trotwood Commerce Park. Its newest tennant is James Group of Ohio Logisitics, an official first-tier GM parts supplier. This new $32.5 million distribution facility is being built to house its operations and 250-300 new employees and will be be operational by fall, 2008.
Trotwood's 62-acre Park is a dedicated Enterprise Zone and Federal HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Zone, which guarantees government contracting preference for companies qualifying under this SBA (Small Business Administration) program. Commerce Park’s infrastructure and amenities include:
• Light industrial/warehousing, zoned L-I
• immediately available construction ready parcels
• 62 acres, 32 and 30-acre tracts
• $20,000 per acre, lots sized to user needs
• water, electric, gas, 3-phase power, fiber optic available
• railroad spur, interior roads, sidewalks, retaining lake
• trained, available workforce close by
• shopping, restaurants within 2 miles, child care available within 5 miles
