Newark Airport's Terminal B to get a facelift
NEWARK, New Jersey (WABC) -- Newark Liberty International Airport is set to get another facelift on one of its aging terminals.
Commissioners at The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey approved additional funding to begin the planning process for the redevelopment of Terminal B.
Combined with remaining funds from an earlier allocation, the $55 million will be directed toward preliminary design work for a new Terminal B, as well as assessing related utility and infrastructure needs.
It includes a completely new terminal, new road network, and a new airport-wide heating and cooling plant.
Terminal B first opened in 1973 and has "struggled to meet evolving passenger and industry needs," a statement from The Port Authority read.
There is no timeline for the redevelopment to begin.
