context_page_description: Piedmont Triad International Airport is an airport located in unincorporated Guilford County, North Carolina, west of Greensboro, serving the Piedmont Triad region of Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem as well as the entire Piedmont Triad region in North Carolina. The airport, located just off Bryan Boulevard, sits on a 3,770 acre campus and has 3 runways. Piedmont Triad International airport is the third busiest airport in North Carolina averaging 280 takeoffs and landings each day. PTI is owned and operated by the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority.
  This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a primary commercial service airport since it has over 10,000 passenger boardings per year.
  A proposal to rename the airport to "Central North Carolina International Airport" passed in December 2017; the renaming was slated to become effective on January 1, 2018. Due to public objections, however, the name change is on hold.
context_section_description: A significant investment is being made into the interstate highway network adjacent to the airport, which will result in easy access from industrial sites around the airport on Interstate highways leading north, south, east and west.  Major highways such as I-40, I-85 and I-74 are already in place, with connectors under construction and coming on line in the near future.  By 2019, the network will be complete, opening up numerous additional opportunities for industrial sites with immediate Interstate highway access.
  There are currently 9 available sites on the airport campus ready for future development.
  As part of the I-73 construction, a taxiway was built to allow approximately 400 acres of property north of Future I-73 to access the airport.
  Construction of a new Air Traffic Control tower began in April 2019 and is projected to be commissioned in 2022. This will feature a 180 foot tall Tower with a 550sqft Cab for Controllers. The base will be 15,650 square feet, and will house the new TRACON facility.
