“Proceeds from the bond issue primarily will be used to finance the Maynard Holbrook Jackson Jr. International Terminal construction project,” airport general manager Ben DeCosta said. “Additionally, the bonds will finance improvements to our existing terminal facilities, as well as roadway and airfield projects.”
The airport, named for Jackson and another former mayor, William B. Hartsfield, is in the midst of a $5.4 billion expansion including a fifth runway to serve by the new terminal.
Officials estimate 85 million passengers will pass through the airport’s gates in 2004
