Washington is proud to honor Richard Oldenburg’s legacy with the region’s next premier industrial park.
A Growing Community
Washington is a growing community with a rich history in manufacturing. Providing employment for a trade area of over 60,000 people and home to over 60 industries, Washington has had great success in industrial development. With less than 20 acres of industrial land currently available, City Officials and local business leaders knew now was the time to invest in the region’s next industrial park. The Richard Oldenburg Industrial Park will provide local businesses an opportunity to continue to grow in Washington as well as give any industry an opportunity to locate in Washington.
