La Grande Airport Industrial Park

The Airport Industrial Park was established in the late 1980’s. The county had just come out of the recession from the early 1980’s. At that time the county had few options to diversify their economy. The Baum Industrial Park was owned at that time by Union Pacific Railroad and had very little interest in working with the community in developing it. The communities’ only option was to begin to find land to develop, and to attract businesses to the area. The Airport property was the County’s first choice to have a fully developed Industrial park. The county citizens voted to approve a bond levy to fully develop the 50 acres into an Industrial park. Today, the park employs about 350 people, and is home to numerous companies. There is still land available to be purchased for future companies.
