There's been parking rate increases at BOS, but I know the obvious cause of that, so Massport can pay for the terminal extensions to fit the ever increasing international presence and post-security connectors that have been built or are being built.
Yes, a checkpoint or two has been built or expanded in that time, but that's pretty much it.
You're overlooking the cost of physical barriers, electrical installations, potentially some HVAC and structural modifications such as floor loading, additional lighting, fire suppression systems, etc, let alone the operational cost of all of this. There is also some additional low-voltage wiring costs fof the networks that need to be extended into the new areas for the beeper machines, TSA clerk computers, telephones and other comm, etc.
