A new terminal was recently completed and other general aviation upgrades are underway. A total upgrade of the runway, taxiway, apron, and related facilities is expected to commence in 2008. It will improve taxiway-runway spacing, allow larger aircraft to land, and incorporate design features that have been developed since the 1920s and 1950s expansions. These original plans have served the airport remarkably well, functioning during every aviation era from open biplanes to corporate jets. The realignment of the runway will mark the first such alteration in over 80 years.
