History of the Business Park

The Yellowstone Regional Airport Joint Powers Board, with cooperation of the City of Cody, the Wyoming Business Council, the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce, the Cody Economic Development Council and the Bureau of Land Management, has developed a Business Park on 34 acres of airport land. With over three years invested in this project, we are excited that all of the hard work and dedication has resulted in the first state-of-the-art business park within Park County opening for business. This new business park will accommodate the needs of light manufacturing and other targeted businesses and industries. It is estimated that once all 6 lots are developed, these businesses could produce 400 new jobs within Park County.

The actual construction of the park required subdividing 34 acres of land and all necessary infrastructure including water, sewer, telecommunications, natural gas, power, drainage, streets, landscaping, curb, and gutters.

Lifestyle

The City of Cody lies about 20 miles east of the Shoshone National Forest, our country's first national forest, and 52 miles east of the East Entrance to the world's first national park, Yellowstone. Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Cody blends spectacular and unspoiled scenery with outstanding attractions, extensive outdoor recreation, a variety of lodging facilities and restaurants, unique shopping and a bustling business community.

Of Wyoming's 23 counties, Park County probably reflects the state's economy better than any other. It's a mexture of energy, agriculture, tourism and manufacturing, and Cody is at the heart of it all. Combine all that with the cultural amenities and mild climate, and you've found a community that is a great place to live and to do business.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of Yellowstone National Park and the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains, Cody is surrounded by some of the country's most scenic areas. It is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast—camping, hiking, fishing, boating, hunting, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, golfing, rock and ice climbing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing. You get the picture—it's recreation à la carte.

Much more than history and the feel of the Old West are present in modern day Cody, Wyoming. Because it's a tourist destination, Cody has a number of fine restaurants, superb shopping, western design furniture manufacturers and other western artisans, an array of art galleries and a business-friendly climate.
