The Forest City Rail Park is comprised of a total of 68.83 acres with 55 acres certified for industrial development. The property is owned by Forest City Economic Development and is ready for development.
As a Certified Site, the Rail Park has completed all surveys, and any risks detailed in these reports mitigated. These include, but are not limited to, Phases 1 and 2 Environmental Surveys, Cultural and Endangered Species Assessment, Soil Surveys and Borings, and Wetlands Delineation.

Iowa Northern Railway (IANR) offers service to this site through a rail spur to be constructed within the property. Three designs have been created by IANR for spurs depending on a business’ needs. IANR has three direct Class 1 interchanges and a short line interchange. With all these connections, customers have access to all Class 1 railroads and the entire North American rail network.
