Miami County's proximity to the metro area is just one of its assets. The five communities that comprise the county -- Fontana, Louisburg, Osawatomie, Paola and Spring Hill -- are at the heart of it's strength.

The communities offer a range of business opportunities from large vacant tracts of land, to smaller parcels available in existing business and industrial parks. Paola and Osawatomie offer free development sites to firms meeting established criteria. Each city has a long-range infrastructure plan involving service providers with capacity for growth.
