Unify Great Southwest Industrial Park

The Great Southwest Industrial Park is home to thousands of businesses and over 100 million square feet of industrial real estate.  Unfortunately, we are often too focused on our core businesses and day-to-day operations and, thus, the wealth of knowledge, experiences, shared concerns, and shared issues are sadly left untapped and unshared. 

The GSWIDA hopes to change this and be the conduit of information and resources to you.
