Drive along the outer edges of Luke Air Force Base now and you’ll mostly be looking out over farmland.
In five years, or even sooner, Glendale officials say that won’t be the case.
The corridor along Loop 303 near Northern Parkway is being envisioned as the Valley’s next industrial park, with giant manufacturing plants and warehouses similar to those further south along the freeway in Goodyear.
Developers in the last year have announced plans to build millions of square feet of mostly speculative industrial space in the area, and the city is annexing hundreds of acres of that land to reap the benefits.
