Reconstruct terminal

The Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission received a $6.76 million Project Grant award on September 8, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), administered by the Federal Aviation Administration's Southwestern Region. This Phase 2B funding supports the reconstruction of the Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport terminal through construction of 1,230 linear feet of precast box culverts and associated drainage structures. These infrastructure improvements are components of a larger central utility plant project designed to replace existing mechanical and electrical infrastructure and provide reliable and efficient heating, cooling, and electrical services to the terminal facility.

The project is scheduled for completion by September 7, 2029, and will be performed at the airport's location in Little Rock, Arkansas 72202. The grant funding supports critical infrastructure modernization as part of the airport's ongoing terminal reconstruction initiative, contributing to the Federal Aviation Administration's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while serving approximately 2.2 million passengers annually in the central Arkansas region.
