Port Authority of N.Y. and N.J. Plans Expansion of Stewart Airport
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has approved $2 million in planning work for a future 25,000-sq-ft terminal expansion of Stewart International Airport.
The planning and design for the phased terminal expansion is being conducted by the Port Authority who first took on the operation of the airport in 2007 and is expected to be completed by December 2011. The first phase of the planned expansion will consist of expanding the north side of the terminal to construct an adequate federal inspection service facility and to increase overall capacity as well as allowing for the simultaneous processing of both international and domestic passengers. Other phases of the project will include customer service upgrades and additional improvements for a fully operational inspection facility.
