ANCHORAGE, Alaska (BUSINESS WIRE) Feb 3, 2021
Alaska Cargo and Cold Storage, LLC (ACCS) and the State of Alaska recently executed a 55-year lease agreement at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), marking a major milestone in the development of a climate-controlled warehouse facility. With 700,000 square feet and 32.5 million cubic feet of capacity, the facility will provide ANC with a critical piece of infrastructure at the world’s sixth-busiest cargo airport.
By DAVE KIFFER - With future ferry service up in the air and the price of both barge shipping and air travel on the rise, you could certainly forgive Ketchikan residents for wistfully wondering how life would be different in Southern Southeast if a road connected Ketchikan to the rest of the continent.
To be sure, even if there was a road it would be at least a 1,500-mile trip to drive from Ketchikan to Seattle but that s the not the point. You could do it, even if it took several days.
It was during the expansion of the canned salmon industry in the 1920s and early 1930s, that the federal government began considering connecting Alaska to the rest of the country. Thomas MacDonald, who would run the Bureau of Public Roads from 1919 to 1953, first proposed a coastal highway between Seattle and Southeast Alaska in 1925.

Companies looking to build a huge cold storage facility at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport have signed a 55-year deal with the state of Alaska.
The more than 700,000-square-foot, climate-controlled facility is designed to boost Anchorage s role as a fuel stopover on international trade routes. Once the facility is built, it would also be a site where companies store and sort freight with more destinations in mind, eliminating an additional stop at a domestic airport.
The first phase of construction entails 190,000 square feet. Construction would begin in the second half of this year.
Alaska Cargo and Cold Storage called the deal a milestone on the path toward development in a written statement Monday.
