New Industrial Park being planned
off Highway 55 in Wright County.

   

   

Rockford , MN -- In an area halfway between Buffalo and Rockford at a placed called “Dickinson Springs” a new 75 acre industrial park is close to final plat approval. A partnership of private individuals has been working with RLK, a land development company, to solidify plans and achieve the best design layout for the industrial park which will be named Whispering Winds. Whispering Winds Industrial park has been in the planning process for well over a year and has been given an extreme amount of attention to detail and the ownership is excited to bring new opportunity to Wright County .

Whispering Winds gives business owners flexibility with great highway access and the allowance of outside storage that is available to the purchasers which is becoming a scarce commodity anywhere within the twin cities. Whispering Winds will have approximately 21 sites ranging from 1.5 to 7 acres in size and multiple adjoining lots can be combined to satisfy larger users.

Rob Brass & Andrew Odney of Welsh Companies is the broker for the project. Please contact Rob Brass at 952-897-7757 or Andrew Odney at 952.897.7709 for more information.
