What this means

The board backed funding for three airport projects: a baggage handling system upgrade, rehabilitation of Taxiway E, and design work for the West Apron for Taxiway K. It also recommended awarding the baggage handling contract after SpawGlass was the only responsive bidder. For residents, these actions move forward airport improvements that affect how passengers check bags and how aircraft and airport equipment move on the airfield.
