Officials from the Jackson County Airport Authority, along with members of the Airport Advisory Committee, have announced a significant expansion project at Trent Lott International Airport. The North Apron Expansion and Taxiway Connector project is estimated to cost approximately $7 million and aims to add 15,000 square yards of apron space for aircraft parking and provide frontage for new aircraft hangar development. Additionally, 2,700 square yards of connector taxiway will be constructed to link the apron with the existing parallel taxiway.
In June, Jackson County Airport Authority officials were joined by community stakeholders and local, state, and federal officials to unveil “Roadmap: TLIA’s Next 20 Years,” a long-term plan focusing on growth opportunities. The approved airport layout plan includes input from various partners such as the Jackson County Board of Supervisors, the Jackson County Economic Development Foundation, Southern Sky Aviation, and Moss Point resident Steve Renfroe.
“Today, we gather for two reasons: to reveal our growth potential through a 20-year organizational roadmap and to announce the transformational North Apron Expansion and Taxiway Connector Project,” said Paul Wilson, Vice Chairman of the Jackson County Airport Authority. “Completing this important layout plan and noise analysis project has allowed us to move forward with adding connector capacity, boosting the airport’s marketability and utilization in our region.”
