There are a variety of sites and development incentives available for the right projects. Omro Industrial Park offers one- to two-acre parcels in its 25-acre addition. The light industrial-zoned lots are $10,000 per acre and have city utilities in place, no retaining ponds required, immediate highway access and access to high-speed cable. Loan programs with flexible terms are offered for qualifying projects in the industrial park.
