Current Expansion Activities
Phase three of the renovations include various renovations to the terminal area to increase capacity, improve aesthetics, and reduce environmental impacts. Parking lots were repaved, car rental facilities were expanded, and solar panels were installed on the roof. Vestibule entryways will replace sliding doors to reduce loss of conditioned air and energy-efficient LED lighting will be used on the exterior. In 2012, the airport conducted studies for a terminal expansion to allow for an additional security line and new concourses.
A new access road is also under construction. When completed, the two-lane, boulevard style roadway will connect the passenger terminal with nearby Waldo Road (SR 24)

Famous quotes containing the words current, expansion and/or activities:
“Natural Man, in our current version, is a disgruntled adolescent.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
