The demolition of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport’s former passenger terminal will take place in 2017, a report by the Citizens’ Voice says. The demolition was originally scheduled for this fall but was delayed because of plan changes.
The airport was originally set to seek bids for the demolition of the two-story, 70,000-sqaure-foot building first, then seek bids for the construction of a parking lot that will take its place, the report says. The Bureau of Aviation, which is providing half the funding for the $2.1 million project, wanted to seek bids for both demolition and construction simultaneously instead.
Because of this change, according to the report, the airport had to finish design plans for the parking lot before seeking bids. The bureau is expected to authorize bidding in mid-December with a contract to be awarded in January 2017. Demolition would begin in February and end in May, the report says. The parking lot is scheduled to be finished by September.
According to the report, the other half of project will be funded by the passenger facility charge on each ticket sold.
