127 AVIATION VIEW VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2 LARAMI E REGIONAL A I RPORT That commuter service has been the focus of operations up until this point – the recent expansions that open other possibilities all began with a new terminal project that is, from a customer point of view, now complete. “Our original terminal building was around 6,000 square feet,” Stamp explains, “and after 9/11 the TSA began bringing in more and more equipment for security purposes. Basically, we altered our old terminal to the point where we ran out of room. It was then that we began the process of working with Jviation Engineering and Sampson construction to build a new 14,000 square foot terminal for commercial air traffic. But, before we even started that we put $20 million into taxiways, fuel tanks, new parking, and other infrastructure upgrades. Next, we built a new FBO building which was doing double duty as the terminal and general aviation hub. But now, we have moved all the commercial aviation over to the new terminal allowing us to have a fabulous commercial terminal and a relatively new FBO general aviation building as well.” The terminal can accommodate gatherings and meetings, and there is space now in the FBO building to create a deluxe pilots’ lounge.
