KINGMAN – A significant Airport Industrial Park land sale was approved without discussion at Tuesday’s Kingman City council meeting. The matter was rubber stamped along with a number of other items on the consent agenda.
A Colorado-based development company submitted the only bid for the 30-acre parcel at the business park, home mostly to manufacturing activity and more than 2,000 jobs. The Council accepted the Kiernan West LLC offer of the required minimum price of $1,975,000.
Chief Operating Officer Mike O’Brien said the company isn’t ready to fully divulge its development plan at this point.
“We are doing a build to suit for a tenant that does package delivery,” O’Brien said. “Outside of that our tenant requires a high degree of confidentiality.”
Other details surfaced during the recent meeting of the Kingman Economic Development Advisory Commission. Economic Development Manager Bennett Bratley said Kiernan West intends to build a 200,000 sq. ft. structure on the parcel.
Bratley said the tenant is expected to initially employ 60-80 people. O’Brien said it might be several months before he can disclose the identity of the client and detail the operation.
