DHL and Clinton County Port Authority Continue Airpark Talks

DHL, County Working To Donate Site For An Air Commerce Park

Although a final agreement has not yet been reached, DHL Express has been working closely with the Clinton County Port Authority (CCPA) on an agreement to donate the former DHL Air Hub/Wilmington Airpark to the local community for redevelopment and future use of the site as an airport/commerce park.

Due to the project complexity, a few details remain to be settled. Talks between DHL and the CCPA continue to be constructive, and are progressing. However, DHL and the CCPA are subject to confidentiality with respect to details of the ongoing discussions and will issue further details upon resolution of these discussions.

DHL Express and the CCPA are pleased about the prospects of this solution supporting the region and people of Wilmington, and are very hopeful that such a donation could serve as a stimulus for redevelopment and future commerce in Southwestern Ohio.

The Economic Task Force for the DHL Hub in Wilmington comprises government officials from the city, county, state and national levels, along with representatives from ABX Air, Inc. and ASTAR Air Cargo, community members and business officials. Co-convened by Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher and Wilmington Mayor David Raizk, the group was organized in June 2008 in response to DHL's negotiations with UPS to take over DHL's air carrier operations and effectively shut down the Wilmington Air Park. The Economic Task Force has commenced work to preserve jobs and craft economically feasible solutions stemming from the potential direct loss of 8,200 area jobs - with significantly more indirect job losses - in Wilmington and the southwest Ohio region.
