Columbia airport board to be briefed on major terminal project

Columbia’s airport advisory board will discuss the new terminal that’s being built during Thursday’s meeting.

More than 100 dignitaries and residents turned out for last week’s beam-signing ceremony for the $23-million new terminal that’s under construction at Columbia Regional (COU).

Mayor Brian Treece notes the new terminal will be 52,000 square feet, compared to the current 16,000 square feet facility.

The airport advisory board will also elect a chair at today’s meeting. The board meets at 1 at city hall downtown.
