How will development within the Aerotropolis be managed?
The partnering entities have agreed upon a conceptual organizational structure that they believe is needed to make the Aerotropolis a reality. This metro-area organization encompasses all aspects necessary to provide one-stop shopping and attractive incentives to potential Aerotropolis business partners. The proposed structure entails the creation of an Aerotropolis Development Corporation through an interlocal agreement among participating governmental entities. Modeled after successful business parks such as Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, the Corporation is designed to provide strong and consistent leadership, unified marketing and branding, and one stop shopping for land, incentives and permitting. It is anticipated that the board will include local government and private-sector representatives.
