All firms recommended ranked highly on emphasizing retail products that reflect Austin. In all, the stores would encompass 9,330 square feet at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, opening in May 1999. This will be adjusted annually to the greater of each operator's previous year's fee or 90 percent of each operator's previous revenue payments to the City. The Aviation Department began shopping for experienced retailers nearly three years ago, researching and planning with the public, trade groups and a concession consultant.

This revenue finances airport operations. Airport Advisory Board members will review the recommendations today, March 17. The Austin City Council will vote on the concession agreements on March 26, 1998. Privacy Statement 2001 City of Austin, Texas . All Rights Reserved.
