COME JOIN THE PRESIDIO ROTARY FOR A TOUR OF THE PORT OF TUCSON

Alan Levine opened the Port of Tucson in then late 1990 on 300 acres of property near the Kolb exit to I-10.  Over the years, the site has grown to over2 million sq ft of warehousing and 3 miles of internal track to support National and Global fright handling and storage.  The site was declared a Foreign Trade Zone allowing the Port to be designated an inland port with the capability of providing local customs service and direct shipping to oversea locations.

 

In late 2000, Alan made the decision to invest in infrastructure and advanced permitting to make his property “Shovel Ready” for any customer that needed rapid development of site in order to minimize the “time to market”.  On 21 March 2018, Amazon announced the acquisition of 94 acres for the development of over 2.3 million sq ft of a large distribution center at the Port ofTucson.  The site will eventually add up to 1500 new jobs for Tucson.  Dirt started flying the day after the announcement.

 

The tour will allow you to meet the management and to see the extent of the sites total development for the future extensive global inland Port of Tucson.
