Improved amenities will be offered, inclusive of new vendor space, gate areas, and jet bridges.
Today, Senator Leahy, Mayor Miro Weinberger and Aviation Director Nic Longo unveiled the City’s plans for a new terminal building “Project NexT” to replace the north concourse, the latest and largest sustainable infrastructure project at Leahy BTV.
What is Project NexT?
Project NexT has been on the Airport’s planning and development Master Plan for close to a decade. The terminal building will be transformed to become linear and interconnected to enhance operational efficiency and safety. For travelers, improved amenities will be offered, inclusive of new vendor space, gate areas, and jet bridges. For airport partners, airline storage and baggage claim space will be re-designed to meet current equipment needs.
How will Project NexT be funded?
Funding to execute Project NexT is anticipated from the FAA through the typical Airport Improvement Program (AIP) process, with the funds coming with Senator Leahy’s support in the FY23 Congressional Directed Spending Bill. The appropriation provides 90% funding once the project is bid and the grant offer is received. The 10% local share will be supplemented with Passenger Facility Charges (PFC).
