Mother Nature is turning down the thermostat and Old Man Winter's winds, and snow are becoming more and more prevalent each day.  Those cooler temperatures might make you want to hop a flight and find a warmer climate to warm the bones.

Travelers also will notice that construction is now underway on the West Concourse Expansion at the airport, expected to wrap up in late 2026.

The new construction is to expand Gates 1 and 2 with more seating for the larger aircraft and to add new restrooms between the gates.

The update will include expanded restaurant seating and room for future venues inside security.  The new, modernized concourse will have more power outlets, better signage, bigger windows, and an outdoor seating area for people.

The airport suggests arriving a few minutes ahead of your normal airport schedule in case of delays caused by construction.
