Big changes are in the works for John Glenn Columbus International Airport, reports Marla Rose in an article for The Columbus Dispatch.
But don’t worry: Most of the projects won't begin for several months – if not years.
As Ms. Rose writes:
Several years from now, the road around John Glenn Columbus International Airport will be a giant construction site as a planned billion-dollar new terminal is built.
Many of the pending changes are designed to make John Glenn a more attractive airport to fly into.
A new car-rental facility to serve the airport, being built by the airport authority, should commence construction next year [2018].
Additional hotel rooms also are in the works on the airport property
Work on the new Residence Inn next to the airport terminal is planned to start next year, with a hoped-for spring 2019 completion date. Like the Fairfield Inn & Suites next door, it will be developed and controlled by the airport authority.
And changes won’t only be taking place outside the terminal, Ms. Rose writes in a separate piece for The Dispatch:
Franklinton-based Land-Grant Brewing Co. opened a location in Concourse B late last year [2016]. Another brewpub announced last year, American Craft Tavern, is expected to open in Concourse C by July.
Columbus-based Donatos, which opened its first airport location in Columbus three years ago, will open a second location in Concourse C later this year. Featuring a full bar, it will replace Johnny Rockets in that space
Happy flying – and noshing!
