JFK is going to the dogs — and probably the cats and horses, too.
A $32 million facility is being built at the airport to provide kenneling, grooming and other services for about 70,000 domestic and wild animals a year.
ARK Development LLC will use Building 78 as well as 14.4 acres of JFK’s grounds for the project. It will have kenneling and grooming services for dogs and cats, as well as a quarantine area for horses, an aviary, lawn space, a veterinary hospital and a rehabilitation center.
The Port Authority, which operates JFK, approved the plans on Thursday.
Officials said the project would create 190 jobs and $50.5 million in economic activity during a 20-year lease period. The PA said that it expected to get more than $108 million in rent over that time frame.
The new facilities will take over and expand the services offered by the Vetport Animal Hospital, the PA said.
