The Beauregard Parish Airport contains 4,200 acres. In land area it is the largest in the state and one of the largest in the country. The largest portion of the property is used to produce forestry and agricultural products. Because of the large amount of land available there are excellent locations for commercial/ industrial development. Lease rates are based on fair market value of the specific piece of property. The value is established by appraisals of the property.


There are paved roads on the east and north sides--the North side is bounded by U. S. 190. The South and West sides are partially bounded by paved roads. Two rail lines border the property on the South and West sides. The area has an abundance of flat usable land, a plentiful water supply, and natural gas. The City of DeRidder adjoins the property on the east side. A major east/west traffic corridor, I-10, is 46 miles south and connects to U. S. 171 leading to DeRidder.


The airport is within minutes of Boise Cascade Paper Mill, Amerisafe Insurance, Westvaco, and Ampacet Corp. Ft. Polk, home of the Joint Readiness Training Center, is 15 miles to the North. There are many military flights that use the Beauregard Parish Airport for Ft. Polk visits. You may even see an occasional airborne exercise taking place. The local communities and Ft. Polk enjoy a very harmonious, cooperative relationship.


Currently there is an industrial Airpark development plan being drawn up.
