 There
are many available development sites located throughout the
DeLand area. The sites include the DeLand Business and
Industrial Park and the DeLand Airport Industrial Park. The
DeLand Airport Industrial Park is divided into three separate
park environments: DeLand Industries, DeLand Aeronautical and
Technical Park and DeLand Enterprises.
DeLand Industries is made up
of many incubator buildings for beginning businesses. This area
has several pre-permitted sites ready for construction. DeLand
Aeronautical and Technical Park, has been created for upscale,
high tech firms. The third park is DeLand Enterprise, which is
for firms needing larger tracts of land for heavy industry. This
area revolves around a 270,000 square foot industrial complex
which houses Inteltic, Memtec and Technetics.
The three park concept gives
DeLand an edge over many industrial park environments in central
Florida. In addition, commercial property is priced well below
national averages and there are many prime business locations
available in the city as well as in the outlying area.
Similarly, the cost of commercial construction is quite
reasonable. Once construction is complete, you'll find the cost
of operation is moderate. Also, utility services are reliable
and moderately priced.
Florida Power Corporation has
developed an aggressive rate schedule that attracts users to
DeLand, over many other sites in the South. Housing costs run
15% to 60% below major metropolitan areas. Taxes are also
moderate compared to most parts of the country. Florida is a
right-to-work state and has no state income tax.
