surrounding the general aviation Front Range Airport, says Bill Schuck, president of the Schuck Corp., which owns TransPort.
Schuck thinks the new road is so important that he is paying a third of the $3.5-million cost of the road, along with the city of Aurora and Adams County.
''It took real vision on the part of Adams County and Aurora to help fashion this private/public partnership,'' Schuck tells GlobeSt.com. ''What it will mean will be thousands of manufacturing and distribution jobs on land affected by airport noise and thus only suitable for industrial development.''
The road is being designed and built by J.R. Engineering, Tarco Inc., and LaFarge Industries. It is scheduled to be completed by December 2002.
Schuck notes he has a ''through the fence'' agreement with the Front Range Airport, which will give tenants at TransPort direct runway access.
''Another plus is Union Pacific Railroad track borders the entire southern perimeter of TransPort and the land holding has direct access to I-70. All of this means easy direct access to a national highway and rail transportation infrastructure as well as the runways of Front Range Airport. All that was needed was fast, direct linkage to DIA - and by 2002 this will be a reality.''
Schuck says he's not sure of the completed value of TransPort. ''But eventually, billions of dollars in infrastructure work along will be completed there,'' he adds.
