Gov. Cuomo details $13B redevelopment of NYC's JFK airport | Dump Trucks Charlotte NC

Kennedy International Airport into a "world-class" facility that will accommodate at least 15 million more passengers a year. The new investment projection is $3 billion more than previous estimates of $10 billion.
• The goal of the project is to modernize and unify the airport's building and road infrastructure in order to create a better traveler experience. Cuomo's proposed redevelopment includes construction of two new international terminals totaling 4 million square feet, demolition of old terminals, repurposing vacant space, adding to the number and size of gates, improving taxiways to reduce airplane congestion and allow for larger aircraft, an upgrade of the AirTrain JFK system, improving airport road infrastructure, and adding state-of-the-art security improvements and a centralized ground transportation system.
• As far as funding is concerned, $12 billion will come from the private sector and $1 billion from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The $3 billion, 1.2-million-square-foot north terminal will be developed and paid for by JetBlue. Lufthansa, Air France, Japan Airlines and Korean Air Lines will develop the $7.9 billion, 2.9-million-square foot south terminal. The two terminals are expected to create almost 10,000 direct jobs, some of those related to construction. Another $2 billion will come from other sources and will pay for other projects in the initiative.
