DISCUSSION
Corporate and general aviation activity at AI{iance Airport continues to increase with the completion of
the Galaxy Aerospace Facility and transient aircraft business associated with Alliance Aviation
Services. With this increase in activity, there is a need to separate the cargo activity from the general
aviation and corporate aircraft activity that routinely occurs in this area.
In order to separate the uses, Hillwood Development has agreed to donate approximately 14 acres of
land on the southwest corner of Alliance Airport to develop a cargo staging area. In addition, Hillwood
Development proposes to build a 120,000 square foot cargo warehouse that -will serve this area.
Federal funding is not proposed for the warehouse facility The proposed apron and taxiway
improvements are eligible for federal funding
In order to fund the cargo apron and taxiway additions, a grant in the amount of $6,477,310 will be
requested from the FAA. The federal participation will be $5,829,579; the required City match will be
$647,731 The City's local match will be met with the in-kind land credit that the City has as a result of
land donated for the original airport acquisition and the land donated for the project.
