Stormwater management and other resiliency projects will begin in phase two of the expansion. The airport property functions as a bowl, absorbing flooding from the neighborhood. Our plans for a New HVN include funding for enhanced upgrades to the tide gates, as well as the construction of a new, flood-proof terminal and improved flood control. It’s also important to note that the existing terminal has only flooded twice in the last decade. In both instances, the terminal and airport were reopened in less than a single day. In the most recent instance, there were no delays or cancelations whatsoever.
