MAGNAM Innovation Park offers many advantages to polymer and associated industries looking for access to low cost natural resources, access to markets, and a skilled workforce.
MAGNAM Innovation Park is located near two of the most productive shale plays in the world creating an abundance of natural gas supplies and the lowest natural gas prices in the developed world.
MAGNAM Innovation Park is within a day's drive to 50% of high-demand North American markets and over 70% of polyethylene demand.
MAGNAM Innovation Park will be located on 2,500 acres in close proximity to the split of two major U.S. Interstate Highways (Interstate 70 runs east-west from Baltimore, Maryland to Utah and Interstate 77 runs north-south from Ohio to South Carolina).
MAGNAM Innovation Park provides a location for conducting business that is closely aligned to the opportunities being created by the abundance of natural gas associated with the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations.
