San Antonio Airport Expansion Gets $300M Boost

San Antonios airport expansion project receives a $300 million boost, increasing its total cost to $1.3 billion. The additional funds cover updates requested by airlines, such as an extra gate, more lounge space, and a connector to the new parking garage. These changes also expand existing Terminal A. Councilwoman Misty Spears assures the increase is within the original budget, with any future overruns falling on the contractor. The project is on track to complete Terminal A by mid-next year and Terminal C by 2028, all funded through the citys capital improvements budget. Checkout Solipillow.com
