This article is about MID in general, and the JessEm Tools relocation to the MID West Park in particular, but includes interesting information about future expansion plans across from the Romeo LeBlanc Airport.
Quote:
In 2018, MID purchased wooded land between Shediac Road and Route 15. The 132-acre parcel is northwest of the Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport.
Recent logging on the parcel has driven speculation of development in the area, though Dupuis said it was partly because they needed to remove old oil tanks from the property.
He said market demand, which has been "surreal" lately, will drive when the area develops. He expects it could be within one to five years.

The comment about "speculation" is interesting. I think this is indirect proof that the CBC pays attention to our boards too.
