The North Little Rock Airport Commission meeting on March 19, 2026, focused primarily on airport development and capital improvement projects. The commission reviewed financials, noting they are on track with revenues and expenditures, including a $75,000 city contribution for air show support. A significant portion of the discussion centered on hangar development opportunities, with consideration of available sites, associated costs, and potential funding through an 80/20 grant from the Division of Aeronautics. The commission discussed the need for a comprehensive master plan update, estimated at around $600,000, to strategically guide future development and maximize revenue potential. Additionally, updates were provided on ongoing projects such as T-hangar construction, parking lot reconstruction, runway extension analysis, and upcoming bid advertisements for taxiway lighting rehabilitation.
