Perhaps something worth keeping our eye on is a the number of properties soon to come on to market in the near West End - an area that can service the airport campus in a number of ways. The Nygaard Outlet, and the taxidermy location, although smallish properties, they do have excellent access routes and appear to be solid, multi-purpose buildings. The old Emco location on Route 90 is being replaced with a large multi unit industrial complex with immediate access to the airport campus. Greyhound will likely be leaving their Border St. location, opening up yet another prime warehouse with decent access and grade/dock loading. I understand that this is minor in the grand scheme of things, but certainly the kinds of companies that *may* locate here could prove to be indicitive of success of the airport campus.
Of note, DHL's facility is absolutely terrible and they might be looking for a new location to expand their service offering (they can't get a forklift out of their current building. Which is absolutely unbelieveable when you consider what line of work they are in).
