A groundbreaking was held today for the upcoming Jonesboro Municipal Airport Commercial Terminal Building to replace the facility lost to the 2020 tornado.
The new $6 million, 13,300-square-foot terminal will feature expanded passenger amenities, food service, and upgraded TSA accommodations, making travel more convenient and welcoming for all. Two Jonesboro firms are providing the design and construction: Cooper Mixon Architects and Olympus Construction, Inc.
“This would not be possible without the tremendous support of political leaders and the U.S. Economic Development Administration, who made this project a reality through a grant partnership,” said Mayor Copenhaver. “We are truly grateful for their commitment to our community’s growth.”
Officials at the groundbreaking emphasized that the terminal will serve as more than a building — it will be a gateway, a hub of opportunity, and a symbol of momentum for Northeast Arkansas.
