Shawnee Industrial Park Gets $50M Bond Approval

The City of Shawnee recently approved a $50-million bond issuance for the construction of Heartland Industrial Park, which is set to be underway this year.

The 186-acre development, to eventually total two million square feet would reportedly bring 1,500 jobs to the city. 

Shawnee Blue LLC is the developer and will have buildings on the site ranging from 192,000 square feet to 940,000 square feet. The first structure is set for completion by the end of the year.

Colliers International is leasing the project, while the city and the Kansas Department of Transportation will make infrastructure improvements to the area, which is at K-7 and 43rd Street in the northwest part of the city.
