Port San Antonio

Port San Antonio

Port San Antonio is a multi-purpose facility in San Antonio, Texas established to serve as an international airport and industrial hub with two railroads and close access to three interstate highways. Established at the former site of Kelly Air Force Base, the convert|1900|acre|km2|sing=on facility is centrally located between the coasts of the United States and along the NAFTA Corridor between Canada and Mexico. It is a designated Foreign Trade Zone.

In a 2007 study by the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), the port was found to employ 17, 152 workers in the San Antonio area, with an economic impact of $2.5 billion.

Originally established in 1995 by the San Antonio City Council as the Greater Kelly Development Authority, it was re-established under its current name in 1997. Its tenants include such companies as The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney and Standard Aero. In the planning stage is a Town Center project at the port's center which would offer office space as well as provide retail, dining and housing options.

Transportation

Operated in joint use with Lackland Air Force Base, adjacent to the airport, Kelly Field hosts an convert|11500|ft|m|sing=on runway and offers engine testing facilities. The railroad at Port San Antonio is served by Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe.

Town Center

The Port San Antonio Town Center project is to be constructed on a convert|200|acre|km2 plot in the middle of the facility. It is intended to provide office space to businesses and to offer dining and retail opportunities for employees of the Port's tenants. It is also intended to include residential space. The area currently hosts a 1940s office building and an convert|80|acre|km2 area of existing bungalows used in the 1920s to house Air Force personnel. Port San Antonio expects to begin development in 2010.
