Future Development
As a result of increased traffic, Nunavut government is planning an overhaul of the airport which is expected to cost between $250 and $300 million. The project will be a public–private partnership with the GN borrowing their half of the cost. The, as yet unnamed, construction company will also operate the airport for 30 years. Upgrades will include building a new terminal, retrofitting the current terminal, expanding parking lots, an second taxiway and apron and repaving the runway. The construction is expected to begin in 2014 and completed by 2017.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or development:
“The future is built on brains, not prom court, as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you’d never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
“They [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ... [they] need the power to advance their own development, but they do not “need” the power to limit the development of others.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
