More major improvements are on the way for West Virginia International Yeager Airport. Plans for an $8 million renovation of the pre-security areas of the airport will include the ticket lobby, the ramp area near the secure area exit, baggage claim and all public circulation spaces in between. Planned upgrades feature replacement of ticket counters, installation of digital display signage, new flooring, refreshed finishes and updated lighting throughout the main lobby, according to a new release from the airport.
The project will take six months to complete with a start date in early October. Eyewitness News said funding for the project is made possible through a Federal Aviation Administration grant program.
