AIRPORT TERMINAL CONSTRUCTION TWO MONTHS BEHIND SCHEDULE

Officials said yesterday that construction of a new, larger terminal at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Unity is about two months behind schedule. This winter’s cold and snow delayed ongoing work to build the foundation for the new terminal that will double the size of the flight waiting areas, add a second passenger gate and provide for new TSA security gates.  Phase 1 of the terminal project was expected to be completed and ready for use in December.  Bids for work on Phase 2 of the expansion to relocate administrative offices and install a new baggage conveyor system are expected to be opened in April and contracts to be awarded this spring.
