Capital Region Airport Partnership Advances 50,000 Sq Ft Project

The Capital Region Airport Authority and developer Pat Gillespie have reached a $50,000 agreement designed to help the airport move its 120-acre development forward.

According to excerpts from the article:

The Capital Region Airport Authority last week authorized the airport's executive director to sign a lease agreement with East Lansing-based Gillespie Group to use airport land for a nearly 50,000-square-foot building.

Capital Region International Airport Executive Director Robert Selig said the project is a step toward developing nearly 120 acres of airport land for industrial and warehouse use.

"We're fairly confident, and I think the Gillespie Group is too, that once we put up one building and have tenants in it, it's going to recruit a lot of interest," Selig said.

The facilities are key to the airport's strategy to grow its air cargo operations. Capital Region International Airport recently opened customs operations for passenger and cargo service to foreign countries.
