The project won’t go off without a hitch, as a representative with the Jacksonville Aviation Authority now tells Action News Jax it’s expected to break ground in quarter two of 2024 instead of in late 2023.
However, the project won’t go off without a hitch, as a representative with the Jacksonville Aviation Authority now tells Action News Jax it’s expected to break ground in quarter two of 2024 instead of in late 2023.
The groundbreaking for Jacksonville International Airport’s replacement Concourse B is now slated for the second quarter of 2024. Environmental Assessment reviews and staffing shortages at the Federal Aviation Administration have led to delays in the approvals required prior to the start of construction. Jacksonville Aviation Authority executives had a productive and positive discussion with FAA staff on Friday, putting the two-plus-year construction project back on schedule.
“I don’t think that they have CLEAR here, so I think that there are so many things that could be added or ways of expanding the airport,” added Dorlean.

Extensive impact of metal mining contamination on rivers and floodplainsA groundbreaking study has provided new insights into the extensive impact of metal mining contamination on rivers and floodplains across the world, with an estimated 23 million people believed to be affected by potentially dangerous concentrations of toxic waste. The study used a new georeferenced global database of 185,000 metal mines compiled by the team alongside a combination of process-based modelling and empirical testing to predict the dispersal of mine waste in river systems to offer a comprehensive understanding of the environmental and health challenges associated with metal mining activities, examining both historical and active mining operations. With the rapid growth of metal mining crucial to the world making the transition to green energy, the study provides governments, mining companies, environmental regulators, and communities impacted by mining operations with a tool to understand the impacts of environmental impact of mining. Ultimately it is hoped that this will make it easier to mitigate the environmental effects of historical and present mining and help to minimise the impacts of future mining development on communities, while also protecting food and water security.
