Facility To Be Built In Southern New Jersey
The FAA broke ground on October 19 for a new research park
dedicated to exploring and advancing NextGen technologies.
The agency is leasing 55 acres of land to the South Jersey
Economic Development District to build an Aviation Research and
Technology Park, which will sit adjacent to the FAA’s William
J. Hughes Technical Center just outside of Atlantic City, N.J.
The park, which will be constructed at no direct cost to the
agency, will offer a central location for the FAA's industry
partners to perform research, development, testing, integration,
and verification of the technologies, concepts, and procedures
required by NextGen. The Technical Center's multi-modal location
gives research park partners access to research laboratories and
testing facilities that will support all facets of NextGen.
The Aviation Research and Technology Park will complement
Florida's NextGen demonstration capabilities at Daytona
International Airport. Advanced NextGen technologies developed and
tested at the Technical Center will be demonstrated in an
operational environment at Daytona, then returned to the Technical
Center for integration with the current air traffic control system
and other components of NextGen.
The first building planned for the site will occupy 44,500
square feet, and cost roughly $10 million. The park, which is
expected to create 2,000 new high-skill jobs, is capable of
accommodating up to 400,000 square feet of technology-oriented
facilities. Total private sector investment by the time the park is
completed has been estimated at between $80 and $100 million.
