"Some of the proposals are up to a $10-per-stick ta+" Large cigars, which are taxed differently than ciga- rettes, generally cost $2 to $30, Peacock said.

By the end of the year the airport hopes to award con- tracts to begin development on Southgate Plaza, a 35-acre mixed use development adja- cent to the airport's rental car center. "We hope to have shovels in the ground by the end of the year," said John Terrell, vice president of commercial devel- opment for the airport. "We want it to be a destination-type development, not just a place where people come while they're at the airport. So we're not looking for typical strip- center development.

The airport is also looking at developments in the Grapevine area. Most of these developments will be made possible because of transportation improvements in the area, Terrell said. "Without those improvements, we couldn't commit to these develop- ments," he said. Among the transportation improve- ments on the horizon are light rail, com- muter rail. upgrades to area roadways and the DJFW Connector project that will be the largest project in the history of the Texas Department of Transportation. "Over the next 10 years, we'll see some major inlprovements to access in and around the airport," Terrell said. All these developments are tied to a concept called "Airport Cities" or "Aerotropolis" that is just gaining trac- tion in the aviation world, according to John D. Kasarda, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Kasarda recently visited D/FW to consult with the airport on its master plan. "Urban economic development is driven by airports," he said. "The 20th century was highway-centric, but I believe the 21st century will be airport- centric." Kasarda said there are three factors driving this trend: globalization, time- based competition and large, high-speed jet transportation. "We talk about connectivity making the world flat, but it's really airports that Terminal D at D/FW International Airport. make that a fact," he said. "Airpol.ts allow that face to face interaction that is key to malung the global supply chain work." Kasarda said that international air- ports in Dubai and Hong Kong have already recognized this trend. "The conlmunities realize that their airports drive development." he said. "In Asia, airports are viewed as a chief cornpetitive asset. Here, I believe they're viewed as an environmental threat to be controlled." DIFW International Airport is one of the few in the U.S. well-positioned to take advantage of this trend, said Kasarda. "There is a lot of land to work with and the infrast~ucture is coming," he said. "That's not tnle for many airports in this country. Most are landlocked." DIFW International Airport will be the host for the Airport Cities World Conference in April of 2008.
