At last weeks airport meeting, they said the airport is scheduled to break ground very soon (forgot to write down date). The construction will take 30 months and should be completed by early 2010.

There will originally be 7 gates (later up to 12) and the terminal will be twice the size of the existing terminal to start.

Also, Pier Park is FLYING. Seems like construction really picked up when they got the final money for the airport, doesn't it?

Hope it will finally be affordable to fly out of there.
