The Freeport Center is a manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution center located in Clearfield, Utah. It was originally built in 1942 as the Clearfield Naval Supply Depot, which was decommissioned in 1962. A portion of the old Navy Supply Depot now exists as Clearfield Job Corps. This lines the westernmost section of the Freeport Center.
The 680acres center consists of 78 buildings, totaling more than 7000000square feet. Buildings range in size from 4000square feet to 400000square feet. Most buildings have a railroad loading dock on one side, and a truck loading dock on the other.
About 70 companies have manufacturing and distribution facilities in the Freeport Center, including Lifetime Products,[1] Northrop Grumman, Don Julio Foods, and Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company. It is also the former headquarters of defunct roller coaster company Arrow Dynamics.
The Freeport Center's name is a reference to Utah's Freeport Law, enacted in 1966, which exempted inventory held for sale from property taxes.
