Urban Engineers Inc., a Philly-firm got a $4.4 million contract to develop new deisgn plan for the airport which with also include 'preliminary design work for a new passenger terminal' according to nj.com. The work is set to begin Sept. 14, 2018 and should be complete within a year. The county says, 'the airport Phase 1, and includes associated projects such as air-side aprons and roadways, and land-side roadways and a new parking garage.'
