The Town owns a 55-acre industrial property, a majority of which is available for potential purchase and development. The property includes truck and rail access, water and sewer, and broadband internet services. It also includes an existing pond, a hiking trail, and 250,000-gallon water tank (not currently is use). The Boones Mill Economic Development Corporation owns a 10-acre piece of property adjacent to the Town's property.
The two maps below show the town-owned property as well as the property owned by the Boones Mill Economic Development Authority.
The following pictures of the properties were taken via drone by Angie McGhee and the Franklin County Home Team.
The map below is only a concept of how the properties could be developed. It has not been adopted by Town Council.
