The Tefen Industrial Park is located on the axis that joins the new towns of Carmiel in the south and Ma'alot in the north. The park also serves the rural population in the region. The regional goals were to create suitable employment for the projected population of the urban centers, as well as second generation residents of the villages who could no longer be absorbed in the agricultural sector for lack of land and water. Part of the regional development plan was to build the main access road connecting Carmiel and Ma'alot while passing through the Tefen Industrial Park.
