the airport fell from last year. What was not reported, she
said, was that some of those profits were used to reinvest
back into the airport - for example, of the $1.4 million
in revenue for 2018, $340,000 went into design work for
the rehabilitation of a terminal apron (ramp) for the west
concourse. The apron design will be completed this year.
As a result, the airport will become eligible to compete for
$10 million in federal construction funding to complete
the project.
