6. Economic Development Program priorities and process update (Review and Discuss)
  Airport staff continues to look at ways to attract businesses and tenants to Contra Costa County Airports. After completing the Economic Development Incentive Program (EDIP) process, the Airports Division completed an update to its strategic plan, in August 2017, to create a pathway that best positions the Airports for regional competitiveness. The top identified priority projects/programs mirrored those identified during the EDIP process. The top identified priorities are:
 
1.      Evaluate rates and charges to increase regional marketplace competitiveness
2.      Develop a Terminal building to create a hub or “heart” of Buchanan Field
3.      Construct a hangar with office space at Byron Airport to attract new business tenants
4.      Make aesthetic improvements to signage and landscaping at Buchanan Field
 
Airport staff plans to bring the top four priorities to the Board for consideration in November.
             
7. 3-Acre Non-Aviation Business Park Development at Buchanan Field (Review and Discuss)
  This 3-acre parcel is located on the northeast side of Marsh Drive and Sally Ride Drive. Montecito Commercial Group is proposing a 52,500 square foot non-aviation commercial industrial business park. The lease is anticipated to be scheduled for the Board of Supervisors review/approval by the end of this calendar year, when the environmental process should be completed for a ground breaking event in late spring 2018.
             
8. 4.6-Acre Development Proposal at Buchanan Field (Review and Discuss)
  This parcel is located on the northwest corner of Marsh Drive and Solano Way. A developer was selected through the solicitation process in January 2017.

Airport staff will continue to provide updates regarding this parcel.
