Site #1
A new 175-acre industrial park is being constructed and is located
south of the city on four-lane Highway 61 with several possible
sites. In addition, an adjacent 195 acres is under an option to
purchase. The 175-acre site has been annexed to the City of Maquoketa
and will provide city water, sewer, municipal electric utility,
and gas utilities by the late summer of 2001. Access into the park
is from old Highway 61, and the City is proposing to construct a
full service industrial street connecting the site to four-lane
U.S. 61, and an internal industrial park street. New 4-lane Highway
61 borders the park on the north and east and provides high visibility
to the area. The new industrial park will also be the home of Generac
Power Systems, Inc., a major manufacturer of generators.
Site #2
This site is a "fixer upper". We would like to introduce you to
a tree-lined 12-acre brownfield area, zoned industrial, within the
City of Maquoketa. This is the site where the once-famous Clinton
Engines Company, which experienced its "hay days" in the 1950s through
mid-l960s, was located. The City wishes to assist a quality newcomer
such as your company to re-develop this site for future industrial
use. Funds are available for demolition and environmental remediation.
Furthermore, the U.S. Economic Development Administration has indicated
to us that it might issue a grant of up to $250,000 the construction
of a new building or the rehabilitation of existing buildings if
a qualified employer should wish to settle here. City water, sewer
and streets are in place and truck accessibility would not be a
problem. Demolition of the area could be phases between the years
2001 and 2003.
Maquoketa's new industrial park (Site #1) offers
a location in a brand new park that is very visible from four-lane
Highway 61. Truck accessibility is off old Highway 61. The new four-lane
Highway 61 interchange is a few hundred yards to the north and the
south interchange for new four-lane Highway 61 is approximately
2 miles to the south. The Quad Cities and interstate interchange
I-80 are 30 minutes to the South. Chicago is 3 hours to the east,
Dubuque is 30 miles to the north, Clinton is 35 miles to the southeast,
and Cedar Rapids is 1 hour to the west.
The site in the established Maquoketa Industrial
Park (Sites #2) will offer location in a well-established industrial
park with infrastructure in place and truck accessibility very convenient.
