Blue Skyways Annual Meeting

Port San Antonio Tour Photos

		The first day of the Blue Skyways Collaborative Annual Meeting was followed by a tour of Port San Antonio and a networking reception. Port San Antonio is a master-planned (formerly Kelly AFB site), 1,900 acre aerospace, industrial complex and international logistics platform, centrally located in San Antonio, Texas, that is approximately equidistant from the East and West coasts of the United States and at the center of the NAFTA Corridor between Mexico and Canada. The entire development enjoys designation as a Foreign Trade Zone.

		Following a tour of the Port grounds the Port hosted a networking reception was in an area that formerly housed military officers.

		Transportation offerings include an airport with an 11,500 foot runway, accessibility by two class I railroads, Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe, and three interstate highways, IH-35, IH-10 and IH-37, which reside at the Port's front door. Markets of more than 90 million people are within two days drive of Port San Antonio. Five major seaports are accessible within a three day drive; the Ports of Houston, Corpus Christi, Manzanillo, Lazaro Cardenas and Veracruz.

		Port San Antonio provided attendees with refreshment and entertainment for the reception.

		The reception offered many opportunities to network. Randy Olson (right), Iowa Biodiesel Board, and Alan Banwart, US EPA Region 7, took the opportunity to chat during the event.

		Meeting attendees filled park benches outdoors while sharing thoughts about the first day sessions.

		Gloria Vaughn, Collaborative Coordinator and US EPA Region 6, thanked Port San Antonio for hosting the event and thanked the attendees for making it such a success.
