With the ebbing of violence, the Atarot Industrial Park saw renewed activity, and several new companies moved in, aided by the new Highway 45's linking the park to the nearby Route 443 expressway to the Tel Aviv metropolitan area and Highway 50 (Begin Boulevard) to central Jerusalem. As of 2003, the park, which has surpassed Har Hotzvim to become the largest industrial park in Jerusalem, houses 160 factories in a variety of industries. The industrial park is managed by a non profit organisation, which successfully lobbied the Jerusalem Municipality for the right to handle security, previously carried out by private firms.
