As recommended in the 2017 Airport Master Plan, the objective of the Terminal Improvement Project is to maintain comfortable, safe and convenient levels of service in the terminal, as well as accommodate forecast increased passenger demand.

The proposed Terminal Improvement Project consists of 33,000 square feet of new space, with the largest portion on the south end of the existing building.

Significant improvements include two more gates; additional and improved gate seating areas; expanded concession space; and enhancements to the existing ticketing counter, baggage claim, and security screening areas.

The meeting is an opportunity for the public to discuss the improvements and provide recommendations. Airport staff and members of the consultant team will be available to take comments, answer questions, and discuss points of interest.
