Invitation

The Cleveland Municipal Airport is proud to announce the Grand Opening Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting for the new B & P Aviation Hangar on Tuesday, March 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at 1029 Airport Terminal Rd., Cleveland.

This event will celebrate the completion of the new hangar and recognize the many individuals and organizations that made the project possible. The Cleveland community, along with aviation professionals, local leaders, and supporters, are invited to join in the celebration.

“We want to have this ribbon cutting to recognize everyone who has supported the airport over the years and to say thank you to everyone who helped us secure funding for this project,” said Clint Johnson, Airport Director. “We received grants from the Federal Aviation Administration, Mississippi Department of Transportation, Delta Regional Authority, as well as a local grant match by the City of Cleveland. Without these funds and the incredible support we’ve received, we would have never been able to make this happen.”

The new B & P Aviation Hangar represents a major step forward for the Cleveland Municipal Airport, enhancing aviation services, supporting local businesses, and strengthening regional economic development.

The Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce also recognizes the significance of this expansion for the local economy. Hannah Aguzzi, Executive Director of the Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce, expressed enthusiasm about the hangar’s impact on business and industry in the region.

“The growth of the Cleveland Municipal Airport directly supports our community’s economic vitality,” said Aguzzi. “This new hangar not only improves aviation infrastructure but also strengthens Cleveland’s ability to attract businesses, create jobs, and support industries that rely on air travel. We are excited to celebrate this milestone and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our community.”

The event is free and open to the public. Attendees will have the opportunity to celebrate this exciting advancement for Cleveland’s aviation community. For more information, please contact: Clint Johnson Airport Director clint.johnson@cityofclevelandms.com
