Building Infrastructure for Industrial Growth
The Lockwood Targeted Economic Development District (TEDD) supports long-term industrial development in Yellowstone County. Located east of Billings, the Lockwood industrial area provides access to major transportation corridors and the BNSF rail system. The district has expanded to encompass more than 1,200 acres.
Big Sky Economic Development works with Yellowstone County, the Lockwood TEDD Advisory Board, property owners, and other partners to plan for the infrastructure and investments needed to support long-term industrial development.
Infrastructure for Growth
The Lockwood TEDD is focused on infrastructure that supports industrial development, including:
- Water and wastewater
- Roads and transportation
- Rail access
- Power and telecommunications
- Other development-supporting infrastructure
These investments are intended to create development-ready opportunities that can support existing businesses, attract new investment, and strengthen Yellowstone County’s industrial economy.
Planning for the Future
BSED assists with long-range planning, project coordination, development strategies, and implementation efforts designed to create more development-ready industrial opportunities.
Lockwood TEDD Advisory Board
The Lockwood TEDD Advisory Board provides recommendations to the Yellowstone County Commissioners regarding district priorities, infrastructure investments, annual work plans, and implementation of the district’s development strategy.
