With a Build-Ready site, much of the work – other than actual construction – has already been completed. That includes having community control of the land to be developed, preparing a building pad (prepared ground/soil/environmental studies), conducting preliminary design work, including project costs and construction timeframes, obtaining approved site plan permits and having necessary utility and transportation infrastructure in place. Communities that meet the minimum standards for each requirement of the Build-Ready program will drastically reduce the time it takes a company to select a site, construct a new building and begin operations. By expediting this timeline and putting companies in operation faster, communities will make their sites more attractive to companies and site selectors. MSE is responsible for the master planning, building pad site design, utility design and road design for this regional business park. The Springfield-Washington County Complex site is the 9th to be certified by the State. MSE assisted with 4 out of the 9.
