Greendustry™ Park, Inc. (GPI) is building New England’s first fully integrated business community dedicated to the principles of green commerce. We are a mission driven organization offering a strategic and comprehensive business environment which integrates a range of essential real estate and business services (Strategic Business Units – SBU's).

In addition, we will establish a network of satellite locations throughout Massachusetts, which is home to hundreds of small entrepreneurial ventures.

Our productive partnerships with institutions of higher education, technical schools, state agencies and a range of regional organizations will allow our affiliated companies to grow their business within a clearly focused but wide-ranging community.
Our corporate office is currently located in the center of the historic industrial mill city of Holyoke.
