LPED Partners with Airport Authority on Airpark Study

The Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development and the Lincoln Airport Authority have agreed to partner on a market-based plan for the Lincoln Airpark.  A review team has narrowed the choices to a final three and interviews are scheduled for the first week of April. A final recommendation is planned for Airport Authority's consideration at its April meeting.

The 1,000+ acre site has had several plans that outlined the land use and infrastructure. However, the new
plan should take the site to the next level. Currently, Lincoln is eliminated from a number of manufacturing
project requests because of the lack of large rail-served sites. The Airpark provides a unique opportunity
as there is rail service from BNSF and tax advantages.

Eventually, LPED forsees the park attracting new jobs to the community and generating additional spin-off opportunities in the private sector.
