The Baxter County Economic Development Committee is requesting proposals from local surveying professionals to assess approximately 138 acres of land owned by the county at the Baxter County Airport. This initiative follows a recent committee decision to explore development opportunities on two distinct plots at the airport site – one spanning 76 acres intended for non-aviation commercial ventures, and another covering 62 acres designated for aviation-focused enterprises. n nAlthough formal public bidding is not required due to the project’s scale, the committee encourages qualified surveyors within Baxter County to submit cost estimates for the work. Interested parties will need to collaborate with Dani Pugsley, President of the North Central Arkansas Economic Alliance, and Taylor Carmichael, Airport Manager, to define the project’s parameters. n nFurther details about the scope and requirements are available through the North Central Arkansas Economic Alliance. n
