Grand Expansion of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Closer; City Council Poised to Consider Major Contracts
The runway at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) is gearing up for a grand expansion to accommodate our ever-growing city’s needs. With the Austin City Council on the brink of reviewing some hefty contracts, it looks like our beloved airport is set for a major upgrade. The Austin Business Journal reports that this move couldn’t come at a better time, with ABIA feeling the squeeze from increasing passenger volumes.
Why does this matter to you, dear reader? Well, besides the obvious perks of a swankier departure lounge, this expansion spells good news for local businesses and job seekers alike. More flights mean more visitors, which means more opportunities for Austin’s economy to soar. Plus, with a slew of contracts up for grabs, it’s prime time for local businesses to take off.
