A $12 million terminal improvement project is now underway at the airport. The infrastructure facilities were in dire need of improvements, along with cosmetic improvements.

The airport has received passenger loading bridges as part of the renovation. The project has enhanced the lounge and replaced 35-year-old chairs in the facility. Some improvements have been made to make the space less crowded.

About 97.5% of the project is funded with grants, and the remaining money has come from stimulus funds.
