As proposed plans for the SkyBridge expansion at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport make their way to the airport authority board in March, local business and political leaders are optimistic cargo could become a big business in the Southeast Valley.
The airport authority board is expected to consider the master development plan at their March 22 meeting, the airport’s Executive Director and CEO Brian O’Neill said. From that point, their partners at real estate company Mesa SkyBridge LLC will work in conjunction with the airport authority to finalize a master lease agreement, which would detail the extent to which the airport would grow over the course of a proposed 49-year relationship.
