Miami Regional Airport's New Terminal Project Promises Economic Growth and More Flight Options for Local Residents

The Miami Regional Airport in Oklahoma is due to receive a new $3.1 million terminal. This will replace the current terminal, built in the 1970s. The Miami City Council has approved the project, which is set to be completed by 2025. The City of Miami, the State of Oklahoma, and two Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant sources will fund the project.

Garver, LLC, an engineering firm, designed the project. Crossland Construction will build it. The City of Miami has agreed with Crossland to use their own crews for earthwork and storm sewer work, saving $125,495.

Matthew Ranck, a Garver Engineer, stated that the project is a good deal for the community. He pointed out that only three communities in Oklahoma received the grant funding.

A groundbreaking ceremony will take place on April 19 at the Miami Regional Airport. Lt Governor Matt Pinnell, the Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics Executive Director Grayson Ardies, and local dignitaries will speak at the event.

The new terminal is expected to improve the airport's ability to serve businesses and private pilots. It could also attract more industry to Miami, increase flight numbers, and stimulate economic growth. Miami Mayor Bless Parker thanked the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace & Aeronautics for their support.
