The City of Waterloo is proud to announce its participation in the REDI Sites program, a first-of-its-kind national standard for evaluating site readiness for U.S. office and industrial projects. Administered by the Site Selectors Guild, the REDI Sites program provides a rigorous, third party reviewed assessment to help communities position their properties for investment.
As part of the program, South Waterloo Business Park, a 184-acre Iowa Certified Site with direct highway access and MidAmerican substation access, has received a Platinum designation, recognizing its readiness for development and alignment with industry expectations.
Launched in 2024, REDI Sites was created to bring consistency, credibility, and visibility to site readiness, a process that has historically varied from state to state. Each site is evaluated across five core categories: ownership and entitlements, ease of development, utility access, environmental considerations, and logistics.
“We’re honored to receive a Platinum designation through REDI Sites,” said Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director. “This program strengthens our ability to market Waterloo to companies seeking investment-ready locations, and the feedback we received as part of the process will help us further enhance our site’s competitiveness.”
