Board of Supervisors OKs Study of Airport Design Plans
Sacramento Bee, CA

Sacramento International Airport officials got the go-ahead from the county 
Board of Supervisors Wednesday to study three finalist concepts for a new 
passenger terminal.

Officials hope to choose a design next month to present to the supervisors for 
approval, and start building within a few years.

The new terminal project would replace antiquated Terminal B.

The project likely would include a hotel, a people-mover system, a second 
multilevel garage and new entrance roads, including double-deck roadways at the 
new terminal. Early estimates set the cost in the $1 billion range, to be 
financed over 20 years from airport-generated revenues.

Two of the concepts are similar to the existing Terminal A. A third concept 
airport officials say they are most interested in involves building a central 
terminal in what is now the parking lot, and having that one eventually feed 
passengers via a people-mover to Terminal A and a new terminal to the north.
