D.E.S.C. Redevelopment
In 1993 the City of Kettering learned that a long standing employer, the Gentile Air Force Base, would be closed as part of the ’93 Base Realignment and Closure process. In an effort to recreate job opportunity, and to redevelop the base into a site for new industry, the City created the Kettering Business Park.
The Kettering Business Park officially opened in 1997 complete with underground fiber optic communications, underground utilities, new roadways and much more. In a short time, more than 1,500 jobs and 8,000 square feet have been filled by established companies such as GE Consumer Finance, the National Composite Center, Defense Finance and Accounting Services and most recently, the Kettering Municipal Court and Fire Department headquarters.
This 165-acre park was named the “1998 Facility of the Year” by the National Association of Installation Developers. The Kettering Business Park is an ideal location for corporate headquarters, research and development or light industry.
