Megasite


A Megasite or Mega-Site is a land development by private developers, Universities, or governments to promote business clusters. These organizations develop the land so that it is "shovel ready" for big business, by improving the infrastructure (roads, utilities, and landscape). Megasites can be an industrial district, business park, research park, science park, commercial district, tourist park or a combination of these.

Megasites are located in suburban to rural areas, in contrast to business districts located in downtown city centers. These sites are typically created close to pre-existing transportation infrastructure (interstates, railroads, intermodal ports, airports, and rivers) and public utilities (electricity, substations, natural gas, water, sewage, fixed-line, and Broadband internet services from Coaxial cable to fiber-optic and Mobile broadband). It's also located close to human capital such as large populations, universities, or tech schools. Land area for these sites can range from several hundred to several thousand acres.
