Moncton airport to add $3.2 million dedicated cargo facility
MONCTON (Feb. 28, 2002) — The Greater Moncton Airport Authority has signed an agreement with a real estate developer firm to build a new cargo hub for domestic and international commercial air freight.
Airport president and CEO Rob Robichaud said building the $3.2-million, 11-acre facility, which will be called the Greater Moncton Airport Cargo Village, should attract companies that do business both in Atlantic Canada and New England.
MA Commercial Centre will own the facility and Groupe Frédéric will develop and manage the complex.
Company president Valdo GrandMaison told the Telegraph-Journal that tenders for construction of the first 50,000-square-foot phase should go out soon with work scheduled to begin this spring and finish by September to coincide with the completion of the new airport terminal.
Currently, the airport handles 100 cargo flights each week. It has four warehouses with 78,400 square feet.
