The Garretson Economic Development Corporation is a non-profit organization. One of our primary goals is to establish an Industrial Park for the City of Garretson. Garretson itself is located twenty minutes from Sioux Falls and its airport, fifteen minutes from I-29 and eight minutes from I-90.

A main Class-1 BNSF Railroad line (considered the only one in the state of SD) intersects at Garretson from Sioux Falls, Sioux City, and Minneapolis.  Potential sites for access by rail spur are located on the outskirts of Garretson.

Good and clear title for the remaining 4.611 acre parcel. This piece can be divided and sub-platted. See map.

The park is located within the Garretson city limits.

A site HUD Environmental Study was completed for historical artifacts by SECOG and was cleared for new construction.

GEOTek drilled the site for soil types and depths. Map copies are available.
