SWGA Airport Terminal Construction in Final Stages
Tuesday, May 21st, 2013
The next three days will be big ones in the final stages of construction of the new terminal at the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport.
Airport Director Yvette Aehle told the Aviation Commission at its monthly meeting Monday that subcontractors will gather at the construction site starting today to begin inspections and working on an extensive punch list that must be completed before the facility is granted a certificate of occupancy.
Aehle said airport officials are shooting to get the CO by June 2.
“Our plan is to hold a simple dedication ceremony on June 26,” Aehle told the board. “July 10 is the first day the terminal will be used by passengers. We’ll be here all night July 9 changing things over.”
The airport director told commissioners she’d had no luck in attracting a permanent food/concessions vendor for the new terminal.
