Advanced & Value-Added Manufacturing

A western production location for manufacturers that need room to grow, multimodal freight access, and connections to emerging industrial clusters.

Gallup-McKinley County is positioned for manufacturers that ship regionally or nationally, use rail or truck freight, supply other industrial users, or transform materials into higher-value products. Priority opportunities include fabricated metal products, industrial machinery and components, transportation equipment, electrical and advanced-energy equipment, sustainable building materials, paper and packaging products, specialized assembly, and remanufacturing.

Why Gallup-McKinley?

The Gallup-McKinley TradePort connects industrial development areas with Interstate 40, BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, U.S. Highway 491, and Carbon Coal Road. Companies can evaluate a rail-oriented location at the Gallup Energy Logistics Park, highway-accessible development sites near Gallup, or the Prewitt Industrial Cluster, where manufacturers may benefit from relationships involving paper, packaging, recovered materials, energy, and transportation.
