A new long-term air cargo lease arrangement was approved by the Kern County Board of Supervisors Tuesday to allow developer AirCargoPort-Bakersfield a lease for a 12-acre site just southeast of the international air terminal near the Mexicana Airlines terminal.

The business, run by San Diego developer R. Barry McComic, also has an option to lease land at the north end of the airport. McComic tells Bakersfield Business News that with all the congestion surrounding Los Angeles International, cargo shippers are looking at areas like Bakersfield as a viable alternative.

Jack Goetcher, Kern County Airports Director explains this is the first of several phases of new development at Meadows Field that will help the County offer new air cargo options.
