The city of Bondurant has added its fifth development-ready industrial site through the Iowa Economic Development Authority’s Certified Sites program, giving the city the most certified sites in the state. The newly designated Ross Certified Site includes nearly 83 acres northeast of the Des Moines metro area. It is located near Interstate 80, Interstate 35 and U.S. Highway 65. Bondurant’s first certified site, announced in 2019, was secured by Amazon for its Central Iowa fulfillment center. The Myers Industrial Site, certified in 2022, is located east of Hubbell Avenue/U.S. Highway 65 and south of Northeast 78th Avenue, with zoning that supports a variety of industries. Two additional sites earned certification last year. “Bondurant continues to raise the bar when it comes to preparing sites for investment,” Debi Durham, director of IEDA and the Iowa Finance Authority, said in a statement. “Their success demonstrates how forward-thinking leadership and regional collaboration can pave the way for the next generation of Iowa’s economy.” Since the Iowa Certified Sites program began in 2012, it has attracted more than $2.23 billion in capital investment to the state.
