To accommodate the needs of the airport in the next 20 years, the masterplan will allow flexibility as individual elements are filtered through an extensive design phase.
As per the masterplan, the airport will be a 80,000-square-foot commercial terminal, which would be nearly double the size of the existing terminal. It will feature three-and-a-half stories of underground parking. On the west side of the airport, there would be place to accommodate a second fixed-base operator, and a private entity that sells fuel and serves private aircraft. The airport will feature a combination of underground and surface parking which would consolidate existing parking, adding additional spaces for a total of 1,300 stalls.
The commission urged the airport to encourage the use of alternate modes of transportation to decrease reliance on rental vehicles and the need for parking spaces. They suggested making use of a baggage-delivery system that could make public transportation more feasible for airline passengers.
The plan will now be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for its approval.
