Airport Terminal Success and Paid Parking
Summary
The new $43.95 million terminal — 23 funding sources, only $1.275 million in local cash — has been open since August, and 2025 was the airport's second-best passenger year. Paid parking started at $6/day (first 4 hours free), partly because 39% of parking users come from outside the county.
