BETHEL- Construction has begun on the main airport terminal at the Sullivan County International Airport in Bethel and last week, the Governor’s office unveiled architect’s renderings of the new facility.
The project is supported by an $18.5 million award from the governor’s $230 million Upstate Airport Economic Development and Revitalization Competition. The new terminal will replace the original 55-year-old terminal, which was razed last year, with a new 15,000-square-foot building.
A major feature of the new terminal building will be a two-story glass curtain wall that will offer views looking across the apron, taxiway, and runway to the Catskill Mountains. The restaurant and bar area on the second floor will also have a deck for outdoor dining and the main first floor waiting area will have an covered patio for outdoor seating.
