Sacramento County is launching a new effort to expand Mather Airport into a tradeport, aiming to boost e-commerce and cargo operations. - The airport features an 11,300-foot runway, one of the longest in California.
- Plans include new hangars, cargo facilities, and warehouses for direct truck offloading. - The project is estimated to cost nearly $200 million, funded by airport funds, grants, and private partnerships.
The initiative aims to transform the former Air Force base into a West Coast cargo hub, bringing high-level jobs and economic opportunities to the area.
