Westchester County Announces Airport Terminal Modernization
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins announced on Wednesday the selection of HNTB to lead the comprehensive feasibility study and concept design for the modernization of the terminal at Westchester County Airport.
“We all deeply value flying out of Westchester County Airport, but the reality is the current terminal is not functional for basic needs like having a cup of coffee, sitting down on a chair or going to the bathroom,” said Jenkins. “Selecting HNTB with industry-leading expertise in airport planning and design is an important step toward delivering that experience. This is not expansion, this is modernization – and we desperately need it.”
The BCW’s Coalition for Westchester Airport has repeatedly called for necessary improvements to make the airport more attractive so that it can continue to play a vital role in creating economic development opportunities. Over 120 businesses have joined the BCW’s Coalition for Westchester Airport in advocating for a new partnership between the county and an operator with a proven track record.
“We look forward to improvements that enhance essential services and address important environmental and quality-of-life issues of concern to the business community, the traveling community and the neighboring community,” said BCW Executive Vice President and COO John Ravitz.
