SoCal logistics airport groundbreaking set
The much-anticipated start of construction on the Southern California Logistics Airport in Victorville is to begin with an April 5 groundbreaking.
Construction on the first phase of the planned 8,500-acre desert facility, located about 100 miles east of Los Angeles on the site of a former military air base, will comprise 6.3 million square feet of industrial facilities projected to create more than 13,000 direct and ancillary jobs.
The SCLA is being touted as a multimodal transportation hub to handle truck and rail freight from both Southern California ports and as an option for air cargo firms now using airports in the congested Los Angeles region.
