Henderson Innovation Park
The Henderson Texas Economic Development Corporation is proud to announce Henderson Innovation Park, our newest endeavor aimed at accelerating economic development. This bold initiative marks a significant milestone in Henderson’s economic trajectory over the past 25 years.
According to Mayor Fullen, who officiated at the groundbreaking ceremony, Henderson Innovation Park is set to become a key driver for new business ventures, job creation, and capital investment, and he extended his gratitude to all partners instrumental in making this transformative project a reality.
Situated strategically in northwest Henderson, Henderson Innovation Park spans an impressive 300 acres. Nestled between Loop 571, State Hwy 323, and FM 2276, the park offers premium sites ranging from 1 to 40 acres. This ambitious $10 million project includes the provision of crucial amenities such as sewer and water service, storm drains, electricity, natural gas, sidewalks, and streets. We are also in the final stages of development for fiber optic design, entry monument signs, and a picturesque green space complete with recreational trails around a scenic lake.
Henderson Innovation Park presents a pivotal opportunity for prospective entrepreneurs. The environment is conducive to growth and innovation, making it an attractive destination for new businesses. Through the development of the Henderson Innovation Park, we have taken a remarkable step toward unlocking Henderson’s immense economic potential.
