NEW AIRPORT TERMINAL STILL FACES $1 MILLION SHORTFALL
(Richmond, IN)--The new terminal building at the Richmond Municipal Airport was a topic at Tuesday’s meeting of the Richmond Redevelopment Commission. The new terminal will feature a waiting room that’s three times bigger than the existing one, a large community room for meetings, an outdoor patio area, and overnight access to pilots. But, funding is an issue. Jon Meade from the city’s Aviation Commission said Tuesday that there is still roughly a million-dollar shortfall for a project that’s expected to cost $3 million. Meade talked about potential ways to cover that shortfall. "We are looking for more money from the community to help with the funding of the terminal, offering up naming rights to the building itself," Meade said. The goal is to begin construction on the new terminal in the second half of this year that would continue into next year.
