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 enviroments: 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 Brunswick Defense.

     The three park concept gives DeLand an edge over many industrial park enviroments 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.
