NTx airNEWS: Dallas/Fort Worth Airport hopes to make millions by developing land around it

From the 9/5 edition of the Dallas Morning News:

With 18,000 acres, D/FW wants to turn its wealth of land into much more wealth. That includes increasing air service to bring money-spending passengers here and more commercial development to create jobs and sales tax revenue.


To that end, airport officials envision:

•More development parks such as the International Commerce Park, which the airport estimates has created 3,000 jobs.
•More entertainment and hospitality businesses, along with corporate headquarters for companies that are dependent on air travel.
•More corporate jets, drawn by $3 million worth of improved general aviation facilities.
•More airlines – especially international carriers – to be lured by bigger incentive programs that give carriers free rent for a year or more.
