According to the North County Times, construction has begun on a brand spanking new terminal at the McClellan-Palomar Airport that will apparently replace the shack and two mobile homes that currently comprise the airport’s facilities.
The $26 million terminal will be six times larger than Palomar’s existing facility and will include larger and more technologically advanced ticketing and baggage screening areas, a more spacious lobby, a boarding lounge, a restaurant and three new parking lots, according to a conceptual plan posted on the airport Web site. . . A new 420-space parking lot will be built nearby to replace those covered by the new building. Taken together with two existing parking lots, the airport will have more than 700 spots when the project is complete.
The construction is scheduled to be completed by December 2009. We’re just hoping the parking stays free and the casual atmosphere is not completely lost. There really is nothing better than skipping Lindberg Field entirely.
