Government releases $5M for airport terminal

Posted online
The U.S. Department of Transportation has released $5 million in federal funds for the fourth phase of construction of Springfield-Branson National Airport’s $119 million midfield terminal.

U.S. Sen. Kit Bond and House Minority Whip Roy Blunt announced the funding today.

Construction of the terminal began nearly a year ago, on May 17, and is expected to be complete in fall 2008.

The 285,000-square-foot facility will contain eight passenger-loading gates capable of handling 16 aircraft.

Most of the project’s funding is coming from a $115 million city bond issue approved by Springfield City Council in November.
