It is “unbelievable” that Hall County has sold 40 percent of the land in Gateway Industrial Centre within a year of developing the park’s infrastructure, said Tim Evans, vice president for economic development for the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce. In the next breath, Evans notes the sale of the 180 acres to Kubota Manufacturing took the last large industrial site in the county. Finding and developing industrial land often requires three to five years, and Evans said he expects it to take the county 12 to 15 years to “build out” Gateway Centre.
