The construction of the new Panasonic EV battery plant at Astra Enterprise Park is moving rapidly, and we are thrilled to announce that manufacturing operations will commence soon.

As both the Developer and Marketing Agents for Astra Enterprise Park, Kessinger Hunter is proud to lead the transformation of this dynamic property into a premier destination for industries at the forefront of innovation — including Life Sciences, Logistics, Energy, Computer Science, Technology, and High-Value Add Manufacturing.

The successful execution of this project, delivered on schedule, reflects a strong spirit of collaboration between the private sector and the dedicated support of state, county, and local officials in DeSoto, Kansas.
