GALLERY – The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority (JMAA) Board of Commissioners unanimously authorized the next phase of plans for a new passenger terminal at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN)
On Oct. 26th, The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority (JMAA) Board of Commissioners unanimously authorized the next phase of plans for a new passenger terminal at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN). During its meeting, the board authorized JMAA to negotiate a predevelopment agreement with the Jackson Forward development team, led by CAG Holdings, Yates Construction and Gensler. The proposed project includes plans for a new concourse, at least six additional gates and updated terminal facilities. The initiative would use a design build finance approach that incorporates private investment alongside other potential funding sources. Construction could begin by the end of 2028. The project remains in the planning and negotiation stages and the final design, scope and configuration have not been determined. The effort is part of a broader push to modernize Mississippi’s busiest commercial airport and improve the passenger experience while supporting economic development in the Jackson region.
