West Plains development agency S3R3 Solutions is partnering with the Spokane International Airport to develop an air cargo facility that could be suitable for an e-commerce company.
S3R3 Solutions filed a preliminary application with the city last week to build the 30,750-square-foot facility with 10 truck docks and 90 parking spaces on the east side of the airport.
The airport is leasing the more than 6-acre site to S3R3 Solutions, which will construct the building and lease space to a prospective tenant.
A tenant has not yet been selected to occupy the proposed air cargo facility, but the space would be suitable for a company looking to take advantage of “speed to market for retail services” said Todd Coleman, executive director of S3R3 Solutions.
“Obviously in today’s environment – particularly in the last year – we’ve seen how much e-commerce moves at a very rapid speed,” Coleman said. “The concept is (the air cargo facility) would be for parcel packages and those types of items.”
S3R3 Solutions adopted a strategic plan this year in which it identified a need for various types of available properties in its portfolio – including an air cargo facility – to assist in recruiting companies to the West Plains, Coleman said.
The air cargo project valuation is an estimated $4.3 million, according to the application.
S3R3 Solutions expects to break ground on the facility in March.
Spokane-based Garco Construction is the project designer.
“We had eight firms interested (in building the facility), but Garco has the ability to get it done on time and on budget, and has lots of experience,” Coleman said.
S3R3 Solutions, formerly the West Plains Airport Area Public Development Authority, was created in 2017 via joint agreements with the city of Spokane, Spokane County and the Spokane International Airport to grow economic prosperity in the region.
