Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 23 subject tags
The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on June 2, 2021, with all five members present: the Chairman and four supervisors. The sole agenda item was a presentation from the Allegheny County Airport Authority on the Terminal Modernization Program at Pittsburgh International Airport. The Program Director and the Architectural Project Manager outlined the need to replace the nearly 30-year-old terminal, citing inefficient systems, undersized security checkpoints, failing baggage belts, and an incorrectly designed international arrivals area. They described a design focused on nature, technology, and community, with shorter walking distances, improved wayfinding, more local restaurants and artwork, and enhanced public health features intended to make PIT the first terminal designed for a post-pandemic world. The project, which uses no local tax dollars, had been halted since April 2020 due to the pandemic. The presenters reported that on March 17, 2021, they received airline approval to proceed with approximately $182 million in early site preparation work and to advertise bids for structural steel, foundations, and underground utilities. Early construction site prep began April 1, 2021, with heavy construction expected to start summer 2021, completion by winter 2024, and the new terminal opening anticipated in early 2025. No public comments were offered. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.The Moon Township Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on June 2, 2021, with all five members present: the Chairman and four supervisors.
