TEXARKANA MAGAZINE

Airports are potent engines of economic growth, and as we compete on a global stage for new business opportunities, having a regional airport is an important asset. In addition to having a ready workforce, accessibility is a critical influencer in a business choosing to locate, relocate, or expand. Opportunities to grow our tax base ultimately benefit all citizens. We are fortunate to have had visionaries who saw the need for an airport in the 1930s. With the opening of our new passenger terminal, we will project a meaningful first impression to our guests, whether coming to Texarkana for business travel, as visitors to our region, or to see family members. ” —Allen Brown, Texarkana, Arkansas Mayor
