Reconstruct terminal

This $900,000 federal Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) will fund the reconstruction of 207,000 square feet of the existing terminal at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport in Jackson, Mississippi.

The project aims to modernize the airport's infrastructure and enhance operational efficiency to serve the local and regional community. The grant was awarded on August 12, 2024 and is expected to be completed by August 11, 2028.
