Forty-five acres have curbs, gutters, streets and underground utilities.  The remaining thirty acres will be developed in the future.  A variety of businesses have already located at the Buffalo Commerce Park.

The addition provides the potential for different sizes of lots based on the prospective business's needs.  The park has easy access to Interstate 90 and Interstate 25, plus a spectacular view of the Big Horn Mountains.  Strong covenants protect the quality of the development.
