Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (KXNA) approves step to add parking

Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport officials moved forward with plans to expand airport parking, approving construction of a three- or four-level garage during Wednesday's board meeting.

The airport's board considered two options for the project, selecting a two-phase plan that will provide 1,200 parking spaces at an estimated cost of $23.1 million. The first level of the parking garage would be reserved for car rental companies, while the remaining levels will be for public use.

Scott Van Laningham, the airport's executive director, said construction of the parking garage would begin by late next year. The project could be completed in 2017 or 2018.

The second phase of the plan would include construction of an additional three-story garage for rental car space. The project is estimated to cost an additional $22.1 million, provide 864 parking spaces and move rental car operations into their own garage.
