Gooding Boasts an Industrial Park of approximately 80 acres located along the Union Pacific railroad mainline.  The business park offers sites appropriate to both light and heavy industry.

In 2011 an Idaho Community Development Grant of $465,000 funded improvements in the Industrial Park;  the addition of street lighting; road extension; and water and sewer lines extended and upgraded.

The Location of Union Pacific mainline is a strong transportation component and is augmened by easy access to the interstate highway system.  The Gooding Airport is located a short distance outside the city limits.  Airports at Hailey, Boise and Twin Falls are easily accessed and convenient for the business traveler. Gooding is home to several trucking lines.  The newest is the WEL Company.  The Urban Renewal Agency is working on a plan to market remaining acres.
