Services & Infrastructure

Some industries and businesses require specialized infrastructure and others need extra stability and security. Satsop Development Park has the unique infrastructure to support both needs. Because it was originally designed to serve a nuclear power plant - which was never finished, fueled or fired - Satsop Business Park has extraordinary infrastructure that makes it easier to conduct business on a daily basis as well as to ensure security in case of extenuating circumstances such as natural disasters.

In addition, in the last 10 years, the infrastructure has continued to be refined to meet the needs of companies choosing to locate at the Park. In fact, in 2004, the Park was the winner of the Governor's Economic Development Award for Infrastructure.
