Plans are moving forward for improvements at the Gary/Chicago International Airport that officials hope will perk up interest from a commercial airliner.
The air traffic control tower at the Gary/Chicago International Airport, pictured on June 11, 2015, is slated to be replaced by one almost twice as large.
“The sooner we can get it done, the sooner we can get an airline providing commercial service,” Dan Vicari, the airport’s executive director, told the board. After the meeting, Vicari said officials were having conversations with commercial airliners while doing the updates on walls, flooring, ticket areas, and lighting to make the terminal more attractive. He said Transportation Security Administration rules call for new screening equipment that needs additional electrical work. Two passenger bridges that escort passengers from their plane into the terminal in inclement weather are also being constructed.
Financial consultant Steve Dalton said before the first bond sale goes to market, the city council will be asked to back the bond issue with property tax funding to secure the authority a lower interest rate. Also, Dalton said the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates in September.
