Guidelines:
The Shadow Butte Industrial Park project is the development of a light-industrial park located 2.5 miles west of Emmett, ID.  The park consists of 120 acres, 60 acres full serviced, and 50 acres now for sale beginning with one-acre parcels.  The Park is zoned light industrial.

Gem County in partnership with Shadow Butte Development Corporation have applied for EDA and ICDBG grants to help fund the development of the Park. These two entities provide funds for job creation within a community. Our plans in the grant application state we will provide a total of 500 jobs in this first phase or an average of 10 jobs per acre.  This figure is based on the amount of money we received from EDA and ICDBG.  Therefore, the funding we received establishes our goal for total jobs to be created.  This will be reported to EDA at 3, 6 and 10-year intervals. We are allowed to count only new jobs in Idaho as well as new jobs in the community that can be directly attributed to the park.  We are actively seeking businesses that can meet these conditions, or 10 jobs produced within the time period allowed, for each acre purchased.

If you are interested in locating your business within the park, please contact us here.
