Superior's Richard I. Bong Airport is receiving more than $400,000 to complete the design plans for and begin construction on a new terminal building, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced.
Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle recently approved the $473,685 project. The new terminal will be more energy efficient and include restrooms, a lounge and a place for pilots to access weather information, the department said in a news release. It will be located next to the current terminal, which was constructed in 1937.
The city of Superior is contributing $11,843 to the project, and the state is contributing $11,842. The remaining $450,000 is coming from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The construction project is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.
