  • 1996 – Pueblo Chemical Depot designated for BRAC closure
  • 2002–2010 – PCAPP facility designed and constructed
  • 2010 – 2023 – PCAPP operational
  • 2013 – U.S. Army formally declares 15,847 acres of the Pueblo Chemical Depot as federal surplus property
  • 2015 – PDADA rebranded as PuebloPlex
  • 2016 – First Redevelopment Plan for the surplus property completed
  • 2023 – PCAPP mission complete
  • 2024 – First of seven parcels transitions ownership from the U.S. Army to PuebloPlex
  • 2025 – Redevelopment Plan for the PCAPP parcel begins

Redevelopment History

Planning for the future of this site began in earnest following BRAC realignment. The 2016 Redevelopment Plan laid the groundwork for readiness and phased reuse. Since then:

  • Rail upgrades have been pursued
  • Roadway and site access efforts advanced
  • Environmental closure progressed
  • High-visibility anchor tenants were established, including MxV Rail and the Swisspod Hyperloop

The New Plan

PuebloPlex is embarking on a bold new chapter. Our latest planning effort integrates years of insight with current market trends, streamlining infrastructure development to unlock evolving economic opportunities for the community.

The plan:

  • Recalibrates land use for maximum operational efficiency
  • Modernizes infrastructure through smart technology and sustainable integration
  • Targets emerging market shifts
  • Harmonizes development with current environmental conditions
  • Creates a tactical roadmap for implementation
