 The
Kentucky Transpark, an environmentally friendly and attractive,
high-tech commerce and business park, is located on U.S. 31-W
and Highway 68/80 on the north side of Bowling Green. This
mixed use, south central Kentucky development is centrally
located, within 600 miles of 43% of the U.S. population and
less than a mile from Interstate 65, the busiest north/south
corridor. With additional access to rail transportation and
a state-of-the-art communications infrastructure, the Transpark
will facilitate the “Just in Time” needs found
in many of today’s businesses.
The need to protect the environment continues to be a major
focus of the Transpark development. Extensive design reviews
and design characteristics that exceed the state and federal
environmental standards have and are continuing to be conducted.
A state-of-the-art storm water separator system will be installed
in the park where potential sources of storm water runoff
will be treated through a mechanical system and dispensed to
lined
retention basins for aesthetics as well as irrigation. The
Transpark is also designated as a “No Idle” development
and will require occupants of the park to use one of the
technologies recommended by the EPA for reducing long-duration
truck idling.
With a campus-like setting, the Transpark will have both
bike and walking trails along with green space and water features
throughout the park. The Restrictive Covenants and Binding
Elements of the park have designed landscaping, lighting,
signage
and other features that exceed current requirements of
Warren County Subdivision Regulations, the Warren County Comprehensive
Plan and the Greenbelt Master Plan.
In cooperation with the Kentucky Community & Technical
College System and Western Kentucky University, the Transpark
will also feature onsite educational and research centers.
These facilities will provide customized workforce training
and specialized services to meet the needs of, not only Transpark
tenants, but newly created, existing, or expanding regional
businesses as well. A 25,000 square foot training facility
is planned for future construction at the Transpark.
