Upgrades are being made at the airport, but they’re not the upgrades originally hoped for.

Yesterday CEO of the Thompson Airport Authority Curtis Ross told the Chamber of Commerce that they haven’t been able to secure funding for a $116 million project that would rebuild the airport terminal to the North side of the runway.

Ross said the timing isn’t right, and although they’re not closing the door on the proposed project, he said they are moving to “Plan B”, which is doing what they can.

Over the last year they’ve done a number of infrastructure and electrical work, and they’re currently working on getting a water treatment plant. In the next year they’ll be making changes to the parking lot, adding in-house security, and will continue to explore options to have more space and add more amenities.
