Developed in the mid-1970s, Rush Township Industrial Park is a 200-acre mixed-use industrial / commercial park in a beautiful natural setting. It contains a first-rate infrastructure in place to support businesses well into the future.
Rush Township Industrial Park offers an ideal location for manufacturing, marketing, and distributing products. It also features low operating costs, tax and loan incentives, experienced development assistance and one of the finest work forces in the country.

The park also offers lower operating costs as compared to metropolitan areas. There is a wide array of options available for lease or purchase of land at reasonable rates.
