TexAmericas Center Announces New Qualified Site

27 Feb, 2025

Copeland Site Ready for Development    

Texarkana, USA – TexAmericas Center (TAC), which owns and operates the 3rd ranked industrial park and is one of the largest mixed-use industrial parks in the United States, announced that its Copeland Site has been qualified for development.

The Copeland Site, a 53-acre greenfield development site, is located on the TexAmericas Center East Campus on the north side of Cypress Street. With both roadway and rail adjacency, the site is well-suited for industrial growth.

The project will allow for a single user or for the development of a multi-building manufacturing center, complete with paved drive lanes, parking and storage areas, and specialized infrastructure. The development will cater to equipment loading needs and offer extensive utility connectivity, both above and below grade. Additional manufacturing-related ancillary services may be incorporated into the project to support diverse industrial activities.

Currently, most of the site is covered with dense tree growth and grass, with no existing wetlands or structures on the property. The soils found on the Copeland Site are part of the Midway Group formation, consisting of fat and lean clay, sand, and marl. Past timber harvesting on the site has removed mature pine trees and the property now features a mix of mature oak trees and younger growth, including both pine and oak species. Upon completion of a Letter of Intent, TexAmericas Center will remove the trees to make vertical development progress even faster.

The Environmental Condition of Property (ECP) Report classifies the Copeland Site as ECP Category 1, indicating that there has been no release or disposal of hazardous substances or petroleum products on the site, nor has there been any migration of such substances from neighboring areas.

As the Copeland Site is a prime rail-served site ready for development, TexAmericas Center is offering the location for industrial development, supporting the expansion by manufacturers, processors, or wholesalers into the Texarkana region.

The Qualified Sites Program

The Qualified Sites Program (QSP), launched in 2023, enhances TexAmericas Center’s commitment to Speed-to-Occupancy, Speed-to-Market, and Speed-to-Profit for businesses interested in locating on its 12,000-acre industrial park in Northeast Texas. As part of the QSP, each site undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to assess its buildability, providing critical information for potential commercial and industrial operations. This includes proximity to essential utilities, assessment of flood plains and wetlands, geotechnical analysis, and other factors typically required for development.

Through the QSP, TexAmericas Center’s on-staff Professional Engineer and economic development professional, each with exceptional knowledge of what a company needs, grades a specific site for how well suited it is for industrial or commercial development based on various site selection characteristics. Those characteristics include proximity to infrastructure; utilities including electrical, natural gas, fiber, water and sewer; soil condition and characteristics; transportation assets; title oversight; and more.

TexAmericas Center now has about 1,000-acres approved for development through its Qualified Sites Program.
