Shannon Industrial Park can be a strategic hub for growth with convenient, cost-effective outreach to destinations from the center of the continental United States. Sites available from five to eighty acres. Build-to-suit options can be provided.
Shannon Industrial Park is a 120-acre tract located three miles west of Atchison and just 45 minutes from the Kansas City metropolitan area. It is part of the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor. Initially developed by the non-profit Atchison Area Economic Development Corporation, the park is annexed into the city limits and surrounded by agricultural land. It is zoned for industry and is part of the Neighborhood Revitalization tax rebate program.
Property and Facility
The park’s paved and lighted streets are 24-feet wide with eight-foot-wide rock shoulders and adequate radius turns for semi traffic. The entrance to the park has a deceleration lane off U.S. Highway 73.
In 2016, an additional 80 acres was zoned I-2, which brings the total available acres for industrial development in the park to about 120.
In the spring of 2018, Shannon Industrial Park was outfitted with 1 GB/sec upload and 1 GB/sec download fiber internet service through Rainbow Communications.
