Airport Terminal Renovation Complete

The $750,000 renovation and expansion of the Kearney Regional Airport terminal is complete, and includes numerous improvements. An additional 1,800 square feet made room for a larger secured passenger waiting area - with restrooms and vending machines, as well as additional non-secure seating and a baggage claim area. Improved traffic flow, both inside and outside, was the primary goal of the renovation and has been achieved by a small expansion and a better arrangement of spaces.

The renovation and expansion designed by Wilkins, Hinrichs and Stober was completely funded with the City’s special one-half-cent sales tax. A Public Ribbon Cutting for the renovated Terminal is scheduled for 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 19.
