The Golden Isles Development Authority (GIDA) has announced the acquisition of more than 250 acres off Highway 82 near Interstate 95 Exit 29 in Glynn County.
BRUNSWICK, Ga., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The newly named Mallard Industrial Park marks a strategic expansion in the community's industrial site portfolio, enhancing the region's ability to recruit and accommodate a wider range of advanced manufacturing and logistics projects.
Unlike other regional sites designed for rail-served or runway-adjacent operations, Mallard Industrial Park is ideally suited for industries seeking smaller footprints, faster timelines, and flexible infrastructure. The park provides a high-visibility, well-connected location within minutes of Interstate 95 and the Port of Brunswick—offering convenient access to regional, domestic, and international markets.
"This acquisition fills a critical gap in our industrial portfolio," said Ryan Moore, President and CEO of the Golden Isles Development Authority. "Mallard Industrial Park allows us to better serve companies that don't require rail access or interstate frontage but still value proximity to major transportation assets. It positions Glynn County to compete for an entirely new category of projects."
Engineering and site preparation are already underway, with shovel-ready status expected within 10 to 12 months. The site will require short water and sewer extensions, but no significant infrastructure challenges are anticipated.
Even in its early stages, Mallard Industrial Park has already drawn attention from multiple active projects exploring expansion opportunities in coastal Georgia.
"We're seeing growing demand for sites that offer flexibility—properties that can accommodate smaller-scale operations or phased development," Moore added. "Mallard Industrial Park gives us the versatility to meet those needs and further diversify our industrial base."
