Airport director Bryant Francis is pushing for visible progress after years of planning. The new Gold Lot opens by March 2027, connecting to the terminal via shuttle and covered walkway, paving the way for a massive six-thousand-space garage by spring 2029. Beyond parking, officials are eyeing major upgrades — possibly even rebuilding aging concourses — with airline financing targeted for early 2025. The new terminal will be bright, airy, and inspired by Lake Erie and Cleveland’s industrial heritage, contrasting sharply with today’s cramped facilities. With passenger numbers surpassing 10 million, landside improvements are urgent — while airside renovations remain under discussion. A lead design firm will be chosen next year to bring this vision to life.
