County unveils terminal expansion plans

As he explained what the estimated $4.4 million expansion would entail, passengers from arriving flights clogged the lobby and a long line of departing passengers waited to go through security lines for a flight already being called.

“We currently have enough enplanements (to justify) 60,000 square feet. We have 28,000 square feet,” Arnold said.
