The New Orleans Aviation Board recently recommended a $826 million expansion and redevelopment plan at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. If the proposal comes to fruition, work could commence in 2014 and it would be one of the city's largest construction projects in the coming decade.
The plan calls for a $650 million, 30-gate terminal with three concourses and a parking garage. It will also include a $17 million hotel, a $72 million power station and a $87 million ramp to connect I-10 traffic to and from the new terminal.
