Harnett Regional Jetport broke ground on a new 5.1 million terminal.
“Today is a great day for aviation in Harnett County,” said County Commissioner Lew Weatherspoon, who opened the program in a hangar at the airport.
Demolition of the existing terminal, which opened in 1981, is expected to begin at the end of this month. The new building is scheduled to be complete by March of 2024.
Sen. Jim Burgin cited the airport’s expansion as the “first part of the long-term plan to make Harnett County a place people want to be.”
He said 64% of Harnett County’s workforce now leaves the county to reach their jobs. Airport improvements, he said, can help attract new employers to address that problem.
The new building, at over 7,300 square-feet, will also house Harnett County Economic Development, which works with new and existing employers to bring jobs to the county.
