Evaluation of land, study of development, schematic plans, and assistance with marketing materials
The Abilene Regional Airport seeks to bolster its position as an enterprise fund through revenue generation associated with the development of the surplus property. The team of Coffman Associates and Parkhill was selected and tasked to evaluate three sizeable parcels and make recommendations on the developability of the land. The study included an engineering assessment of existing conditions including infrastructure, drainage, wetlands, and related factors. The planning team developed schematic plans to support the development goals, while also accommodating site restrictions such as natural drainage patterns. Once the development concepts approved by the owner, the final engineering analysis and development of a preliminary plat were completed.
The planning team also led the research of target markets and created covenants and standards to help guide the development of the three areas in a professional and orderly fashion. Additionally, the team developed marketing materials to aid the client in their pursuits. The marketing material included an animated fly-through of the three development areas.
Finally, the project team assisted in land release discussions with the FAA and coordination with other stakeholders such as the City of Abilene and the Texas Department of Transportation.
