Willard business park joins Inland Port’s Golden Spike Project Area
White Rock Business Park, a 180-acre industrial land parcel in Willard, has joined the Utah Inland Port Authority’s Golden Spike Project Area.
The site is owned and being developed by Millstream Partners and marketed for lease, sale or build-to-suit development by commercial real estate company JLL.
White Rock Business Park is located just north of Ogden and directly off I-15. It draws from both the Weber and Box Elder counties’ labor pools and is eligible for a variety of state and municipal incentives, including UIPA’s Inland Port benefits and the state’s Rural Economic Development Tax Increment Financing program, JLL said in a release. Utilities, including heavy power, are anticipated to be available in late 2026 or early 2027, the firm said.
“As Utah experiences an uptick in manufacturing employment, White Rock Business Park represents a significant opportunity to attract and retain high-quality industrial users in Northern Utah,” said Wick Udy, vice chairman with JLL. “Its inclusion in the Golden Spike Project Area will be an unparalleled advantage for interested tenants. This region is experiencing growing economic impact and emerging as a hub for logistics, manufacturing and innovation.”
The Golden Spike Project Area, UIPA’s fourth inland port location, is expected to open the door for future infrastructure investment, supply chain enhancements and sustainable growth in Box Elder County.
“We are thrilled about our partnership with Willard City and their inclusion in the Golden Spike Project area,” said Stephanie Pack, associate vice president of business development at UIPA. “The tools UIPA brings to the table will enable the city to be proactive about their economic development rather than reactive.”
“We’re thrilled to be a part of the next phase of the Golden Spike Project Area,” said Jason Robbins, managing partner at Millstream Partners. “Development plans for White Rock Business Park include several Class A industrial facilities to accommodate a range of industrial users, with build-to-suit capabilities available.”
