It appears that Frontier will not loan the county for terminal improvements.

Project No. 9 – Terminal Building Modifications
PFC Level: $4.50
Estimated PFC Eligible Cost: $315,000
Estimated Start Date: August, 2013
Estimated Completion Date: December, 2013
Description: Provide funding for the Terminal Building Modifications project at the Airport. The work proposed is within the existing building envelope and will improve the queuing of passengers passing through security as well as provide a secure and improved hold room area for passengers awaiting boarding of aircraft. Included in the building modification is the creating of restrooms in a portion of the existing space within the boarding area for the convenience of passengers who have successfully passed through the security check point. The total estimated cost for the project is $315,000. This project will be funded totally with PFC collections. Therefore, PFC funding will financially support the total $315,000 for the Project.
Justification: The existing building was originally constructed in the 1970’s prior to today’s current increased security requirements. There has been limited scheduled commercial service at the airport since the increased security regulations were instituted after the 2001 tragedy. Frontier Airlines recently started scheduled service from Trenton Mercer Airport significantly increasing the passenger activity at the airport. The proposed terminal building modifications will improve security and handling of the increased passenger activity generated resulting from Frontiers new service.
