Link > http://www.areadevelopment.com/newsItems
The Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority selected Mesa SkyBridge as Master Developer of 360-acres of vacant airport property for Gateway Aerospace Park in Mesa, Arizona.
Mesa Mayor John Giles, who recently resigned as Chair of the PMGAA Board of Directors. made this remark: ". . . Today’s signing of the Master Development Agreement clears the next hurdle and moves us closer to bringing thousands of high-wage jobs to the Phoenix East Valley. . . "
The project will offer amenities such as Mexican customs officials stationed at Gateway Airport to pre-clear goods headed to Mexico. Currently, products headed into Mexico are routed to a select few airports in the country and sometimes have to wait weeks before being cleared by customs officials. With this program, customs officials from both countries work together to pre-clear cargo in the U.S. so it can go to hundreds of airport in Mexico as domestic product.
The development will include 3.5 million to 5 million square feet mix of warehouse, light industrial, and office, with some retail and a hospitality. The project sits within a Foreign Trade Zone and a Military Reuse Zone, which both provide significant tariff benefits and property tax savings to qualifying companies.

Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Aims To Be Epicenter for Aerospace Operations
Phoenix (AZ), 27 nov (EFEUSA).- Una firma mexicana se encargará de desarrollar un multimillonario plan para crear en el Aeropuerto Phoenix-Mesa Gateway un centro de logística aérea "enfocado al envío de productos de alto valor y en agilizar el movimiento de carga aérea entre México, Latinoamérica y Estados Unidos".
La empresa de capital mexicano se ha comprometido a invertir entre 20 y 25 millones de dólares en infraestructura para desarrollar aduanas, oficinas, hoteles y restaurantes en un espacio de 140 hectáreas (15 millones de pies cuadrados) que se conocerá como el Parque Aeroespacial SkyBridge Arizona.
El proyecto contempla la construcción de instalaciones para facilitar el procesamiento de la carga aérea destinada a México, albergando en el sitio a inspectores aduaneros de México y Estados Unidos bajo el Programa Unificado de Procesamiento de Carga.
Una instalación similar de aduanas se instaló el año pasado en el puerto fronterizo de Nogales, Arizona, como un programa piloto. Con esta nueva inversión aeroportuaria, Mesa sería la primera ciudad con operaciones extranjeras en el interior.
"Tiene el potencial de ser la fuente de comercio más importante con México", dijo John Giles, alcalde de Mesa, quien también es presidente de la junta directiva de la autoridad aeroportuaria.
"No será una exageración decir que Mesa será el centro del comercio electrónico entre Estados Unidos y México", dijo Giles.

Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Aims To Be Epicenter for Aerospace Operations
31 May 2017 http://www.phxeastvalley.org/phoenix-mesa-gateway-airport-aims-to-be-epicenter-for-aerospace-operations/
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport has been having a pretty good go of it for the past year or so: the PHX East Valley regional airport got its first international flight, has been breaking passenger records and was recently cleared by the Federal Aviation Administration to have around 700 acres next to the airport open for development.
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway just landed Constant Aviation last week as well, which will establish a new operation in a 74,486-square-foot space, with 50,000 square feet of hangar space for maintenance, repair and overhaul operations. Approximately 200 jobs will be created at the facility with an average wage of $60,000 a year, and Constant Aviation will be investing roughly $12.5 million in the facility over the next three years.

It’s been the latest grab for Shea Joachim, the airport’s director of business development, who is working to make Phoenix-Mesa Gateway the “epicenter of MRO operations in the West Coast.”
“What we’re trying to be is the mecca for these operations on the West Coast,” he said.
That began about 10 years ago, when aerospace companies Embraer and Cessna opened facilities at the airport, which made up around 150,000 square feet of operations in total.
Because both companies are some of largest manufacturers of jets, Joachim said, that helped to attract other MRO operations.
“Those were certainly a big win. They play a big role in recruitments,” he said. “Other companies see those big names and it provides a little bit of comfort for them.”
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway then added Able Engineering, now known as Able Aerospace, as well as International Air Response, to their aerospace MRO portfolio.
Around that same time, the airport lost Hawker Beechcraft, who built and operated a facility there, due to the company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2012 — but that ended up working out for Phoenix-Mesa Gateway in the long run, since Constant Aviation will soon be operating in that space.
“The combination of facility availability and this space being competitive for MRO operations was part of what made this deal attractive to Constant,” Joachim said.
