MASON CITY – The Mason City Municipal Airport will hold a Ground Breaking ceremony for the new Commercial Service Terminal on Monday, September 12th at 3:00 PM.
The new 23,000 square foot Terminal Building will be constructed adjacent to the current Terminal Building, which was originally built in 1966. The new terminal will provide for more Gate Hold space for passengers, a larger more modern security checkpoint, and additional functional spaces for the Airline, Busline, Transportation Security Administration, and Airport Administration.
The total program cost for this project is estimated at $13 million, including an expanded Aircraft Parking Apron and Parking Lot. The majority of this project is being funded by Federal grants from the Federal Aviation Administration. The new facility is expected to open in the summer of 2024.
Is it finally going to be a regional airport, so Clear Lake will finally be paying their fair share? More Clear Lakers use it than Mason Cityans.
