August 30, 2006 7:34am• Construction to start in 2008
• Will replace 1967 structureThe design for a new terminal building at the Central Valley’s largest airport, Sacramento International, has been selected by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.
The new terminal will replace Terminal B, which was built in 1967. It will be three times the size of the current terminal, have 23 gates and a “people mover” to shuffle passengers hither and yon.
Construction is expected to start in 2006, with completion projected for [2010].
The new terminal is being designed by Corgan Associates Inc. of Dallas, Texas.
It will incorporate a 200-room hotel, replacing the airport’s current hotel that is located across from Terminal B.
The old terminal will be torn down when the new one is opened, with the airport’s second parking garage built on its site.
The $1.1 billion project is to be paid for by fees paid by airlines along with federal grants.
