Strategic Plan

Covering 1,700 acres, the Brookley Complex is home to more than 100 businesses employing approximately 3,700 people in 4.6 million square feet of industrial space. The Brookley Complex is strategically positioned in a major freight transportation hub that includes two interstate freeways, direct access to two major railroad lines (indirect access to three additional lines), a major port with expanding container facilities, and a state-of- the-art airport. Brookley is divided into two distinct land areas: the airfield and the industrial park. The airfield consists of runways, taxiways, aprons and vacant land. It is bounded by a variety of uses including residential areas, cemeteries, the National Guard, and the University of South Alabama. The industrial park, set between I-10 and the airfield stretches nearly two miles along the highway and contains lands occupied by aging industrial buildings and infrastructure. Following its strategic plan, Brookley will become an industrial campus with five districts.

They are:

• Aerospace
• Research, Retail & Office
• Logistics & Manufacturing
• Industrial/Infill/Incubator
• Light Industrial & Flexible
