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:

    Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.
    William Morris Hughes (1864–1952)

    The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.
    Gail Sheehy (20th century)

    No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
