John Hummer, Past MVEDA Board Chairman and owner of Steinborn TCN Commercial Real Estate, was quoted in an on-line article in the Commercial Property News regarding the future growth that will be associated with the construction of Spaceport America.

According to Hummer,  “The spaceport is a strong catalyst for growth, not only in rocketry and related technologies and the tourism associated with commercial space travel, but also the commercial payloads–science experiments and commercial satellite launches. The corridor including Las Cruces, the largest nearby town, and Truth or Consequences, the closest to the spaceport, are already benefiting from interest in the spaceport.”

In the article, Hummer also mentions New Mexico State University’s Arrowhead Research Park, Virgin Galactic, UP Aerospace and Armadillo Aerospace, and the Las Cruces airport.
