EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
|. INTRODUCTION
Volare Hangars, an Equity 1000 LLC brand specializing in aviation related developments and
strategic planning, submits this response to RFP 25-02 to the Wickenburg Town Council to plan
and develop portions of the Wickenburg Municipal Airport (E25) under the Airport Layout Plan (ALP)
provided by Coffman Associates, dated March 3rd, 2014. Our team recognizes the critical need for
modern aviation facilities and services to support local and regional demand for both short term
and long term economic growth. Identifying a variety of development phases to accommodate both
transient and based aircraft with a goal of making Wickenburg Airport a sought after destination to
for pilots, businesses and tourists to fly into. Volare Hangars is excited and committed to executing
a comprehensive development plan that aligns with the Town's vision and goals.
Volare Hangars can assist in stimulating economic growth for the Town of Wickenburg by
expanding aviation infrastructure, attracting aviation related businesses, and actively increasing
airport revenue potential. Additionally, we aim to create new opportunities for commercial and
lifestyle developments, stimulate the local economy by increasing the tax base with new
businesses and high net-worth individuals, along with expanding job opportunities within the
community. This development is structured as a public-private partnership, fostering collaboration
between municipal stakeholders and private investors to maximize economic benefits and !ong-
term stability, while maintaining the Town's western motif. Our master development plan is
expected to make improvements both inside and outside the fence, to create a fully integrated
aviation and lifestyle ecosystem.
Separating the master development into three phases will ensure that the construction schedule
aligns with market demands providing paraile! growth to prevent any over development issues that
could occur by having several vacant buildings with minimal usage. Such as unnecessary overhead
and maintenance or an out dated/dysfunctional building once the demand increases to begin
utilizing the vacant spaces. As well as allowing us to coordinate the future phases of development
to the current trends and needs, along with the latest and greatest technology/automation.
If selected as the development partner for this RFP, Volare Hangars team will establish a new entity
as the holding company and developer of Wickenburg Airport, i.e. Volare Hangars at Wickenburg,
LLC. The following plan is subject to change based on market data and feedback from both the
community and Town Council to ensure the best use and improvements are provided to the airport
and Town of Wickenburg. Volare Hangars would like to take over the management and operation of
the fuel tanks/services to ensure proper improvements are made and can offer attractive fuel
pricing to tenants. This will also allow better results for future FBO build-to-suite development,
providing the FBO with the best possible fuel infrastructure to service the airport.
