Memphis, TN – In May 2018, Jacobsen|Daniels (J|D), a minority-owned airport consulting firm, was awarded by the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA) a $4.6-million contract to prepare new master plans for the Memphis International Airport (MEM), General Dewitt Spain Airport, and Charles W. Baker Airport.
“We are tremendously excited about the opportunity to work with the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority staff as we plan for the airport’s and community’s future,” … “We hope to help MSCAA build on their recent successes to continue to maintain and grow airport assets that the community can be proud of – ones that sustainably support the economic and social needs of the community.”
Matt Johnson – Senior Vice President of the Planning Division
J|D’s efforts will update the master plan for Memphis International, last completed in 2009 while it was a transfer hub for Northwest/Delta Airlines, and develop new plans for Spain and Baker. Each plan will reflect industry changes, update forecast and growth projections, and establish development priorities in consideration of recent and pending improvements to facilities and infrastructure – all while upgrading the customer experience. The plans will also focus on preparing for emerging technologies such as passenger screening advancements and unmanned aerial systems, as well as the planning for sustainability and resiliency in the face of changing economic and climate conditions.
“We are excited to partner with J|D in developing long-term plans for our three airports. We are committed to developing our airport system in a sustainable way that benefits the community and Mid-South and enhances our position as a leader in economic growth,” said Scott Brockman, MSCAA President and CEO.
