The Durango-La Plata County Airport is undertaking a Terminal Area Plan study to evaluate development opportunities for the site, including a recently acquired 12.5-acre parcel of land adjacent to the terminal complex.
The public is invited to review initial conceptual design options at an open house from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 949 East Second Ave.
The Terminal Area Plan study will guide long-term consideration of renovation, expansion or new construction. This year is on track to be the busiest year at DRO, with more than 380,000 passengers expected to arrive or depart the airport.
The current terminal facility was built more than 30 years ago and is undersized and aging. Expansion and modernization of terminal facilities are key parts of the airport’s plan to accommodate today’s needs as well as future demand for air service.
Airport and consultant staff will be available during the open house to hear public comments.
