Amazon Pitches Boise on New Storage and Distribution Center at Boise Airport

The Boise City Council will consider a proposal from Amazon to build a new air cargo center at the Boise Airport as part of a ground lease for up to 35 years, with possible endorsement coming Tuesday evening at the council's regular weekly meeting.

If approved, the deal would call for Amazon to rent about 151,000 square feet of property at the airport to construct a roughly 31,000-square-foot air cargo building and make other upgrades to store and distribute the e-commerce giant's goods.

The Seattle-headquartered company — one of the world's most successful private enterprises — also would use the space to load and unload trucks and trailers, store the vehicles and make service repairs to inbound and outbound aircraft, according to the proposal.

Amazon would cover the cost of construction of the center, and would own the building. With planned expansions worked into the agreement, the lease could expand to more than 171,000 square feet of airport property, or nearly 4 acres.
