SCLA/Victorville, CA

                A NEARLY ONE BILLION DOLLAR CMB INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP 


CMB has been authorized to raise $100 million in investment capital to be combined with $877 million in city, state, federal, and private capital for investment within the Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA).

The SCLA, which grew out of the former George Air Force Base, is located in the Victor Valley of California, a high desert region northeast of Los Angeles.  It is situated within the Interstate 15 Corridor, only eighty miles northeast of Los Angeles.  The SCLA is marketing itself as an air cargo alternative to Ontario and LAX. The conversion of the former base to SCLA will provide major corporations with logistics needs with a global intermodal logistics gateway to the Western United States.




The chief focus of the City and the SCLA Authority or SCLAA in the upcoming years is to continue to develop the former base into the country’s premier intermodal logistics facility utilizing its strategic location with immediate access to air, trucking, and rail facilities.  The SCLA, with its two very long parallel runways, can handle the largest and heaviest aircraft in the world allowing non-stop access to any destination in the world.  Based on this fact, SCLAA officials expect the airport to become a major player in the world cargo market.

The investment will take the form of a loan to two government agencies, the SCLAA and the Victorville Redevelopment Agency(VRDA) which is administered by the City of Victorville.

The investment has four main projects:

SCLA WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY

         

VICTORVILLE HYBRID POWER PLANT (VV2)

   

 


Bringing this new waste water treatment facility on-line will open up the western portion of the former base area for commercial and industrial development.   The VRDA and SCLAA are in discussions with a major beverage company to locate a new bottling plant in this new “
West End” development area.

Currently the Airport Authority and Redevelopment Agency are planning the construction of a new wastewater treatment facility to deal specifically with the wastewater discharge requirements for industrial users that have a high strength discharge.  The treatment plant is intended to pre-treat all wastewater discharge from industrial users to the tertiary levels bringing the wastewater to Title 22 standards and making that water available for reuse as reclaimed water. 


In response to the looming shortage of electric generating capacity facing Southern California and to help generate local economic growth, the City of Victorville unanimously voted on March 11, 2005 to develop a 570 MW "Hybrid" power plant at the Southern California Logistics Airport.  The City has retained Inland Energy, Inc. to manage the development of the plant which has been named the "Victorville 2 Hybrid Power Plant" (VV2).

BNSF Corporation has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of
Victorville, The Victorville Redevelopment Agency (VRDA), and the Southern California Logistics Rail Authority. The purpose of the agreement is to promote the development of an intermodal facility in the City of Victorville, San Bernardino County, California.  The proposed project involves the construction of a Logistics
Park that includes a domestic intermodal rail facility. This project is similar to BNSF’s successful intermodal operations at Alliance, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (Alliance) and Logistics Park Chicago (LPC) in that it includes a master plan for industrial development related to the rail facilities. When completed, the Logistics Park will link to BNSF’s state of the art rail network. 

 

              

 


STIRLING CAPITAL INVESTMENTS


To meet the ever-expanding commercial development demand for Southern California, Stirling Capital Investments, a division of Stirling Enterprises, (“Stirling”) will invest $350 million over the next 30 months to build approximately 6 million square feet of industrial space at the SCLA.  The new industrial space will be comprised of diverse product types, including distribution, multi-tenant, and air cargo facilities.  The development will accommodate existing small airport businesses seeking larger facilities and will also assist in airport expansion plans for business requiring up to 100,000 square feed of space. However, this additional planned commercial development will require millions in new and upgraded infrastructure facilities.
