Jacobs Solutions Inc. J has been awarded a pivotal contract to support the Boise Airport’s multi-year capital expansion, reinforcing its leadership in transportation infrastructure. This move positions Jacobs at the center of a transformative project aimed at accommodating an 81% surge in passenger demand over the past decade.
Jacobs’ Critical Role in the Expansion
As the owner’s representative, Jacobs will oversee planning, design and initial operations for the expansion, which includes constructing Concourse A, renovating Concourse B and upgrading terminal facilities. The design phase is set to begin in 2025.
“Keeping up with growth is critical for furthering economic development in this growing region,” said Jacobs’ senior vice president, Eva Wood. “We bring extensive expertise in managing complex infrastructure projects to meet increases in passenger demand, improve the passenger experience, and prepare the state's capital and largest metropolitan area for future growth.”
Boise’s Economic Growth Gains Momentum

Beth Sumner, Boise Airport Deputy Director of Engineering, emphasized Jacobs’ experience — “We look forward to working with Jacobs on key elements of the BOI Upgrade Program, aimed at right-sizing the airport and growing in pace with our community.”
