$120M GR airport project moves forward

The bidding process for the largest infrastructure development project in the Gerald R. Ford International Airport’s history has begun. The project will bring 4,900 parking spaces under one roof, and create pedestrian skywalks between buildings.

According to excerpts from the story:

The largest single infrastructure development project in the history of Gerald R. Ford International Airport is moving forward. The Kent County Aeronautics Board has voted to proceed with the bid-letting phase of the $120 million Terminal Area and Parking Improvement Program (TAPIP).

The centerpiece of the project will be a four-story, 4,900-space parking ramp that will be located immediately across from the passenger terminal building. The ramp will house short- and long-term parking, as well as the airport’s rental car operations.
