Gainesville Regional Airport - Current Expansion Activities

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:

    The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that positions be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one’s contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.
    Angela Davis (b. 1944)

    Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.
    Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
