Renovations and Remodels
Beginning in the spring of 2009, the Sioux Falls Regional Airport embarked on a 3 phase multi-year, multi-million dollar renovation and expansion project, designed by Koch Hazard Architects, that included renovating and expanding the ticketing and check-in counter area, renovating the ground floor gift shop, updating and renovating the concourse, and updating and expanding the airport's parking operations. As of March 2012, Phase 3, was nearly complete, and the finishing touches including new TSA full-body scanners at the security checkpoint, and a new jetbridge at gate 8 were in place and operational. Future projects for the airport include a remodel of the lower level restaurant (expected to begin April 2012 and be completed by Oct. 2012). A runway intersection repaving project will commence later this year. The intersection of runway 15-33 and 3-21 will be replaced over a series of four weekends beginning the weekend of August 17, 2012 and ending on the weekend of September 14, 2012. During these weekends, the airport will be closed to most commercial traffic although the shorter runway 9-27 will remain open. The expected cost of this project is approximately $7.7 million dollars.
