Airport Terminal Project Advances
Construction of the new airport terminal has officially begun to take shape. The slab was poured in October, and structural steel installation was completed earlier this month, setting the stage for wall framing to commence. Hardened rooms, designed for use as bathrooms and storm shelters, are already constructed, underscoring the terminal’s dual focus on functionality and safety.
All site utilities have been installed and are undergoing testing, ensuring that infrastructure meets operational standards. The terminal is on track for completion and is expected to open to the public by the end of May 2025.
Building 630 Construction Milestones
Significant progress has been made on Building 630, a new 274,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution spec building currently under construction at MidAmerica Industrial Park. The precast concrete walls and roof trusses are fully installed, marking key milestones in the project’s timeline. Roof decking is now 50% complete, with the roof’s final completion expected by December 15.
On the site, approximately 60% of the paving is in place, with concrete pours advancing at an accelerated pace to meet the year-end goal for paving completion. Installation of windows and doors is set to begin soon, with the building expected to be fully dried in by the end of the year. Once dried in, tenants will be able to start their interior improvements, moving the project closer to operational readiness.
