Aerospace companies wait for word about stimulus money - Triangle Business Journal:

jabire2389.blogspot.com
In February, Congress approved more than $1 billion in Americanj Recovery and ReinvestmentAct (ARRA) funds for space projects. Whethe r or when local aerospace contractors will see any of the monet indirectly depends on budgeting for fiscal year which is being hashed out nowin Washington, D.C. Boulder-basee is in a typical situation. Preliminary stimulusw plans at NASA andthe (NOAA) show moneyy coming to two projects for whichg Ball Aerospace is a contractor. Yet, nearlg four months after ARRA’s passage, the companyu doesn’t know whether it will have a shot at any ofthe “We may.
We aren’yt sure, and it’s hard to know at this point,” said Roz Ball Aerospace spokeswoman. NASA and other federal agencies withspacs projects, such as NOAA, plan to funnel much of their stimulus funds into long-standing missions. NASA expects to make about half its stimuluas grants throughcompetitive bidding, with the rest headefd either to its internal projects or to companieds with existing contracts. The agencyg can’t announce stimulus allocations yetbecause they’re tied to its 2010 budgeg that Congress is considering, said Stephanie a NASA spokeswoman.
“Becauses we have the stimulus money, we’re anticipating beintg able to spend it this year to preserve some moneh we would otherwise spend in the2010 budget,” she Congressional subcommittees have proposed reducing the Obamsa administration’s requested funding for manned space exploratioj in NASA’s 2010 budget, which may prompt NASA to rethinkm parts of its stimulu s plan. Outside its 2010 NASA currently plans tospends $400 million in stimulus money for its Constellation program, whic is building a rocket and crew capsule to replace the space shuttle and serve the International Space Station. Littleton-based is leadinf the $8.
2 billion development of the Orioncapsule that’zs at the heart of the Constellation program. NASA has plannedd to spend some stimulus money to test Orion onthe ground, but Lockheed Martin will have to wait untiol NASA’s budget is resolved to discover how much Orion gets and whethert it will have to bid to get it. The federak stimulus for space-related work is relatively smalpl for a field in whicjh projects cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. But the money still could be key.
Demaned for private and government satellites and rocket launches hassloweds — the Department of Defense just canceller plans for a multibillion-dollar satellite network known as TSAT and any government funding increase is welcomed. The stimuluds won’t come close to fixingg chronic underfundingof NASA, said Janet spokeswoman for the , a Colorado Springs-based aerospacd industry group. “It’s a good step, but it’s not enoughj — not enough to make the kind ofdifference that’d needed at NASA,” she said. Still, it’ss money that gets spent domestically and will supporgtskilled jobs, Stevens said.
Whatever benefit contractors on existing projects gainfrom NASA’s stimulus spending is likely to be said Professor Henry a researcher with the at Georgw Washington University in Washington, D.C. “Unleszs companies can generate additional business as a resultr ofthe stimulus, these additions will evaporate,” he NASA has proposed putting $75 million of ARRA fundzs toward the James Webb Space an orbiting infrared observatory that’s schedulefd to launch in 2014. is the lead with Ball Aerospace overseeing constructio n ofthe telescope’s massivd mirrors.

Finding tenant will be difficult - Atlanta Business Chronicle:

a-ee85aqa.blogspot.com
The 1.3 million-square-foot building is one of the largesty properties inthe area, with more square footage than the Kettering One Dayton Centre and the KeyBank Towerd combined. Paul Hutchins, owneer and broker with Dayton-based , said only a few users coulr fill the entire and those types of tenants rarelytcome along. “You woulfd have to look for somebody looking for a corporate Hutchins said, noting that would be a difficult task in the currentt environment. Mark Fornes, owner of Centerville-basede , agreed that a one-shot tenant would be hard to find. “There’zs not too many 1 million-square-fooyt users running around,” Fornes said.
According to Montgomer y Countyproperty records, the building is valuedc at $31.4 million and sits on 54 acres. An emptyy NCR headquarters would bump the Daytonj market office vacancy ratefrom 21.2 percenr to 27.6 percent. Fornes said the sheer size of the building present thebiggest challenge. But he said the in the city of Dayton but not in the centraklbusiness district, makes it a different “You have the free parking. It makes it more like a suburban center in a central Fornes said. Hutchins said by dividing the propertyu to becomea multi-tenant it would take eight to 10 years to completely fill the which is located at 1700 S. Pattersonm Blvd.
He said the region could get lucky and find a user that wantas to relocateits headquarters, but it wouldc take proactive government action. Even thoughj the costs to subdivide the building would be Fornes said the building would fill up quicker with a combinationm ofsmaller users, ratheer than hunting for one giant tenant. Hutchins said the only problem with doing that is theoperationakl costs. For it to make sense to maintain the building, the first tenant would have to fill at leasgt 200,000 square feet of space. Anything smalleer would be a highlyh inefficient useof space, he said. Ther are some potential optionsd forthe campus.
A large defensed contractor might be interested inthe facility, Hutchins said, as it offersz a campus setting, is wire d for high-tech capabilities and has plenty of nearby Brokers said donating the buildiny to an education institution or the city of Dayton may be the best Hutchins said a good optiobn would be giving the building to the . NCR woul d gain the benefits of atax write-off and the university woulds have a business complete with parking, a cafeteriq and plenty of space for classrooms, to mold for its needs. “k bet they’ve already talked about donating it to Hutchins said.
“Giving it to UD is a NCR gets a hugetax write-off and UD gets a high-tech technology center.” Fornes also said donation to a universituy would make sense. “Igt would be really nice if they give it to Fornes said. “It would be a nice gestur e in return for taking theirheadquarters out.” NCR said Wednesday that Los Angeles-basee will be marketing the headquarters.
